  Story of O
O felt that her mouth was beautiful, since her lover condescended to thrust himself into it, since he deigned publicly to offer caresses to it, since, finally, he deigned to discharge in it.
O, who was holding a cup of coffee in her left hand and a croissant in the other, was seated cross-legged, or rather half-cross-legged, on the edge of the bed, one of her legs dangling and the other tucked up under her.
O was amazed to see Jeanne turn deathly pale and let go of her hand, let go of her dress which she was holding lightly with her other hand, and sink to her knees on the fl tile floor - for the antechamber was tiled in fl marble.

 I wrote the story of O | Review | The Observer
Story of O is not a book to read on the bus - or not the first 60 pages, anyway, which are written with an almost hallucinatory, erotic intensity that you would have to be rather peculiar not to be left hot and bothered by.
O has a job and answers the telephone and moves around Paris, which is all a bit awkward and pointless when you are supposed to be in thrall to an identity-crushing sexual cult.
Story of O came out quietly in June 1954 and didn't attract much attention until it won the Prix Deux Magots, nearly a year later, which also brought it to the notice of the Brigade Mondaine, the French vice squad.

 Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > The Story of O   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The Story of O (Histoire d'O) is a sadomasochistic novel by French author Pauline Réage, the pen name used by Anne Desclos (1907-1998), who also wrote under the name of Dominique Aury.
Published in 1954, it is a fantasy about a Parisian fashion photographer who is blindfolded, chained, whipped, made to wear a mask and taught to be "constantly available".
The heroine of the novel has the shortest possible name, consisting solely of the letter O. This caused much speculation as to what it could symbolise or stand for, some suggesting object or orifice, but is in fact an abbreviation of the name Odile.

 Salon Books | The mother of masochism
O, a young fashion photographer, goes with her lover to a mysterious chateau, where she's whipped, chained, exposed and humiliated, all in the supplest, most finely poised sentences imaginable.
But what seems most out of sync with our time is "Story of O's" utter lack of that therapeutic quality that pervades so much contemporary porn: that remarkable insistence that this stuff is good for you, bringing with it self-knowledge, autonomy and the ability to love.
O doesn't have to learn to love -- if she learns anything, it's her utter need to be dominated by love.

 Amazon.com: Story of O: Books: Pauline Reage,John P. Hand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
O is not a prisoner or slave in the normal term of the word, but rather she is a slave to her love for Rene, as he has made it clear to her that she is free to leave anytime she desires.
O cannot stand the thought of losing him or of being separated from him and she feels that her submission to him proves to him that she is his and only his and he can do whatever he wants with her so long as he dos not leave her:
It was only when Jacqueline saw O's body, the marks of the flogging and her scars, that Jacqueline began to back away from O and O had "felt insulted at seeing Jacqueline's contempt for her condition as a flogged and branded slave, a condition of which O herself was proud".

 Monsters At Play: The Story of O Review
The title character is only known as "O" (played by the lovely and talented Corinne Clery) and the story revolves around "O" being brought to a chateau of debauchery by her lover played by Udo Kier.
It is here that "O's" love and devotion (as well as endurance) to her lover will be put to the test as she will be ravished, whipped and sexually tortured by many a man, as they may take her as they please.
The Story of O is presented in a mildly letterboxed transfer (approx 1.66:1) and the result is nothing short of a revelation.

When Story of O was first published in 1954 in Paris by Jean-Jacques Pauvert, it became the most widely translated French novel in the world.
Having recently seen a television documentary on the author of the 'Story of O', I decided to re-acquaint myself with this story which was all the rage when I was an undergraduate.
The photos (and text) follow O as she is introduced to Roissy where her lover, Rene, has taken her to learn the ways of sexual servitude.

Story of O is a deeply moral homily' J.G. Ballard
Telling the story of a woman who is so in love with her lover that she is willing to endure pain and humiliation, "The Story of O" is not for the faint hearted, or in fact the weak stomached.
So in love is O, that at the Chateau Roissy she abandons all sense of self, stability and safety and commits utterly to her lovers desires, to a live of submission.

In addition, for this tale to truly capture the journey “O” takes into her own fantasies and creativity, we needed to go “through the looking glass”, to create a “fever dream” where what is real and what is imagined is open for interpretation.
The Story of O: Untold Pleasures was my introduction to the world of international co-productions and navigating my way through the varied opinions of what the film should be and should contain was the biggest creative challenge I faced.
No matter what relationship audiences form with the film, one thing is certain – as long as people feel the need to fantasize and to explore themselves and their own sexuality, The Story of O will have resonance.

 The Story of O
A reactionary response to early 70s feminism, "The Story of O" concerns a fashion photographer (Corinne Clery), who willing abandons her career and identity in order to satisfy the sadistic demands of her lover (Udo Kier).
The 70s were a simpler time when dialogue like "O was very surprised at having her hands tied, since she had every intention of obeying her lover" or "What we have to do is get tears out of her" rang gently like a D.W. Griffith intertitle.
Nevertheless, "The Story of O" is truly discomforting -- not in its now tame nudity but in its hateful depiction of a beautiful, proud woman unhesitatingly giving herself up to torture for the love of a man. The intervening years have turned this now reprehensible fantasy into a musty artifact of culture kitsch.

This sequel to The Story of O continues the sexual adventures of a young woman who has explored the limits of suffering, love, and ecstasy.
This story is terribly written and miserably fails to come near any resemblance of the O we know.

O prefers not to inquire further, contenting herself with a draining job and Cape Cod potato chips.
In Story, he foregrounds this concern repeatedly, as though he fears the audience might ignore his area of interest.
O even describes a sex scene as "He's inside me like he's probing for truth." (Ouch.) As in his earlier works, Belber offers contending versions of the past, encouraging his characters and the audience to resign themselves to ignorance.
