Slaves Of Isis, 23 Mar 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Slaves of Isis (Hardcover)
Apart from the introductory volume titled La Dominatrice, the books in this series are published in hardback only. The black corrugated end-papers and the texture of paper selected for the 56 chapters of Slaves Of Isis suggest a no-expense-spared approach to book production normally lacking in this category of
publishing. Blindfolded, an expert, when subjected to minimal coercion, might guess that this sensual object was taken from the library of some old-fashioned London Club. Indeed I understand from the publishers that leather-bound copies are available, produced in South-west England by craftsmen who have recently bound jewel-encrusted editions of the Koran for a Sultan. The writing is most exotic - as the reader of this review might by now have suspected - with approximately 80 per cent of the chapters exhibiting an originality of idea which might well exceed the crude grasp of the typical purchaser of the sex-book of this genre. If I am correct in presuming that the reader of this review is likely to be American and in search of instant and basic gratification, I must warn him that this book belongs in the most sophisticated of European hands [where Madame de Morville is something of a cult literary figure - a leather-clad dominatrix from Paris]. If, however, you have an affinity with the literary tradition of European erotica, I am confident that you will shortly be overwhelmed by an exceedingly stimulating read of this foremost classic. It may be helpful to point out that the 56 chapters of Slaves Of Isis have been divided, for the purposes of illustration by the artist, Sardax, into three volumes. Slaves Of Isis: Volume Three, which includes the text of the last 20 chapters, is currently in print.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Expanded from another of her books, 2 Mar 2002
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Slaves of Isis (Hardcover)
This is a copy of "La Dominatrice" which has almost 20 extra chapters added into it. DO NOT buy both books -- you will be wasting your money. Just get this book.
No pictures in this book so if you were attracted to the drawings on the covers of De Morville's books, you'll be disappointed.
