THE
IMAGE THE IMAGE is one of the most acclaimed and famous erotic novels of all time. One of only five erotic novels famously credited with true literary status by renowned cultural commentator Susan Sontag, it is a tale of bondage, dominance and submission in the tradition of The Story Of O. The narrator, Jean, is assisted by Claire in the domination of the subservient Anne in a series of sexually explicit scenarios. Like O, THE IMAGE is ultimately a potent and bizarre love story. THE IMAGE is accompanied by an introduction by Pauline Réage, author of The Story Of O. THE IMAGE is now believed to have been written by Catherine, wife of the renowned novelist and film-maker Alain Robbe-Grillet. It was famously filmed in 1973, by Radley Metzger (as “Punishment Of Anne”). “Not only do Pierre
Louys’ Trois Filles de Leur Mère, Georges Bataille’s
Histoire de L’Oeil and Madame Edwarda, the pseudononymous
Story of O and THE IMAGE belong
to literature, but it can be made clear why these books, all five of them,
occupy a much higher rank as literature than Candy or Oscar Wilde’s
Teleny or the Earl Of Rochester’s Sodom...”
