Finding herself home alone, she cheekily decides to fantasise about Georges Bataille's infamous novella \u003cem\u003eThe Story of the Eye\u003c\/em\u003e - with a twist: she's playing all the roles!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stories \"Emmanuelle\" (1978) and \"Emmanuelle: The Anti-Virgin\" (1990), Crepax follows the titular heroine on her sensual journey as the polyamorous wife of a French diplomat in Thailand. While the character is best known as the star of a series of pornographic movies, most notably the 1974 film starring Sylvia Kristel, she originated in a banned 1959 novel by Marayat Rollet-Andriane (pen name Emmanuelle Arsan), a Thai French woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmmanuelle has a sexual encounter on a plane, plays a steamy game of squash with a countess, falls for a woman named Bee, and has an intense experience at a temple, among many other transgressive exploits Crepax details from the novel. And, in an innovation of Crepax's own - she crosses paths with King Kong!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is the first of two featuring comics adaptations from the literary erotica canon along with supplemental and contextual material. As Antonio Crepax observed in the Crepax Archives, \"[The cartoonist] covered by the authority of classics, ventures into territories of eroticism that up to now he had only dared to touch.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432847786220,"sku":"9781683965664","price":161.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781683965664.jpg?v=1774766305","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-complete-crepax-erotic-stories-part-1-by-guido-crepax-9781683965664","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
