Finding herself home alone, she cheekily decides to fantasize about Georges Bataille’s infamous novella The Story of the Eye — with a twist: she’s playing all the roles! In 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. Emmanuelle 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 the many other transgressive exploits Crepax details from the novel. And, in an innovation of Crepax’s own — she crosses paths with King Kong!Vol. 8 contains Crepax’s longest graphic novel — “Story of O.” A woman finds fulfillment when she subsumes her identity by sexually submitting to a secret society. Crepax sumptuously draws every strike of the whip and taps into the sensuality of body modification in his adaptation of this groundbreaking work. Also included is his short story “The Unexpected Exchange,” filled with the sensual delights you have come to expect from Crepax: lingerie, bisexuality, the 1920s, and the most symbolically drawn train you’ve ever seen outside of a Hitchcock film. In addition to the usual accompanying essays putting Crepax’s stories into historical and cultural context, this volume also features Nouveau Roman novelist Alain Robbe-Grillet’s (The Voyeur, Last Year at Marienbad) introduction to Story of O.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"mediafiles\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px; color: #222222; font-size: 14.08px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ctable style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #222222; font-size: 14.08px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px; white-space: nowrap;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING: $20 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: SEALED BUT CORNER HAS A DING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"pretail\" class=\"tableval\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px; white-space: nowrap;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"pupcisbnlabel\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"pupcisbn\" class=\"tableval\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 12px;\"\u003e9798875000089\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ppagecount\" class=\"tableval\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 12px;\"\u003e592\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 4px 4px 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"VIDEO VOE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51472184213782,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0890\/9432\/4502\/files\/KKnl84wnLC.jpg?v=1782404025","url":"https:\/\/xxxmarketplace.net\/products\/complete-crepax-gift-box-set-vol-7-vol-8-hardcover-set","provider":"XXX Marketplace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
