Can sharing only add to your pleasure?

Emmanuelle is curious. Her husband Jean married her for her 'erotic genius', not to possess her. The only solution to Emmanuelle's passion is through a mentor; a man who will guide her through her deepest fantasies – unveiling languid tales of discovery in the close heat of the Orient.

‘Emmanuelle’ is a candid confession and liberated exploration of erotic philosophy and bisexuality, where the contrast between repression and desire results in an intense, boundary-breaking journey into the exotic.

Emmanuelle Arsan is the pseudonym of Marayat and Louis Jacques Rollet-Andriane, and was initially revealed to be written by Marayat – in order to conceal the identity of her husband, a French diplomat.
