Product Description

Book Description

Before 50 Shades of Grey, there was Story of O

But Story of O was not the end. Now read on.

From the Back Cover

The return to the Chateau

Story of O is widely acknowledged to be one of the most famous erotic novels of all time. Graham Greene described it as 'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity.' Harold Pinter called it 'A remarkable piece of work', while Brian Aldiss proclaimed 'I do believe that Pauline Reage has confounded all her critics and made pornography (if that is what it is) an art.'

In Story of O Part II, O returns to the place of her initiation, an elegant chateau outside Paris, where she submits completely to the sexual whims of one man, her lover.

Story of O is also available from Corgi Books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Talk about an anti climax 3 Feb 2002
By Edge Dweller
Format:Paperback
The 'Story of O' fasinated, enthralled, disturbed and aroused me. I was hoping for more of the same. In 'Return to the Chateau' however, Reage seems to have abandoned O to the whims of the mostly absent Sir Stephen. He returns her to the place of her initiation, alone this time, to be prostituted and cry herself to sleep each night. I so wanted her devotion to be rewarded - but maybe a true submissive does not even hope for that? Is this the point Reage wants us to see? I'd make a terrible subbie I think.

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor relation to the superbly written 'Story of O' part I 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I first read 'The story of O' as a newwcomer to the S&M scene 5 years ago. In my opinion 'The Story of O' is one of the most beautiful and touching S&M stories i have read. The same cannot be said for 'The Story of O part II. The story lacks the depth and sincerity of Part I and is disjointed and confusing to say the least. After taking a mere 45 minutes to read cover to cover I was left with a 'what the hell was that all about' feeling. Uncomparable to Part I in every way.

3.0 out of 5 stars A highly erotic novel 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Whether you find The Story of O erotic will depend entirely on your tastes - but for the reader who finds the idea of S&M pleasureable, this book feeds the imagination well.

5.0 out of 5 stars O is further degraded and finally abandoned 6 Feb 2000
By rte6vm@hotmail.com
Format:Paperback
I thought this excellent, and like the original - there is an emotional intensity here. It continues the tale - with O prostituted for money now and then abandoned after her lover murders someone. A serious tale with none of the airhead fluffiness of much modern erotic fiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars There was at least 2 endings of the 1st book 28 May 2011
By Mikdane
Format:Paperback
At the end of "Story of O" two distinct different endings are mentioned: One is, O receives permission to end her life, the other, that she returns to Roissy.

To me, it seems as though the author has had trouble with how to end the Story of O.

One should not advocate for suicide, especially not at the end of a fiction of this kind. On the other hand, how then, should it end ?

I like the 2. part for the attempt it makes at making a convincing end, only it fails to do that. I prefer to read Story of O as a story that has no end.

So read part two as an attempt, which the author chose, wisely, not to include in the outstanding work: Story of O. Nothing more.

One final point, which it took me 10 years to realise.
The title: Story of O in french is: Histoire D'O. Fine, but now try pronounce this:
Histoire D'Eau. The history of water. Even the title is a clue. :-) Water cannot, and has no, end.

3.0 out of 5 stars Re-reading the Story of O 17 Jan 2013
By Gonzette
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For some reason I ended up buying "Fifty Shades of Grey" and oh my, how dissappointed I was... I just left if after labouring half way through the book. It reminded me however of the Story of O which I read years ago, so I bought it to re-read it again. How annoying though when I got the two books in the post now, it say on the cover of the book II: "Before 50 Shades of Grey, there was Story of O ... But Story of O was not the end. Now read on." Why, oh why, did they need to put a reference to 50 Shades on this classic? It is beyond me. Spoils it big time. 3 Stars only because of this.

Well it took me a bit of time to get into and made me cringe somewhat, you would have to decide on the merit of this novel all by yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars quite intense 17 May 2013
By funnyas
Format:Paperback
This book is better than what is currently on the shelves at the moment. I couldn't help but feel sorry for O. I'm not sure where submission ended and cruelty began.
