Zustand: Nuevo. «Las páginas que siguen», escribe la propia Pauline Réage en la nota que antecede a este Retorno a Roissy, «son una continuación de la Historia de O. En ellas se propone deliberadamente la degradación, y por tanto, nunca podrían haberse integrado en la novela». Con estas palabras, la autora contesta por adelantado a quienes quieren ver en este libro ese capítulo final que, según constaba en su última página, fue suprimido en la Historia de O (La sonrisa vertical 35). Se decía que «O volvía a Roissy, donde Sir Stephen la abandonaba». Eso es, en rigor, lo que ocurre en este Retorno. Pero, para nuestra sorpresa, la atmósfera del relato cambia ahora radicalmente, desvelándose con violencia la mórbida realidad que permanecía oculta bajo esa ascesis fanática del erotismo que era -que es- Historia de O. El claustro consagrado a la transfiguración del amor se nos descubre aquí como un trivial burdel de lujo. Sus pupilas no son más que vulgares prostitutas. El propio Sir Stphen, «el fascinante príncipe de ojos grises», un delincuente, un estafador. Como André Pieyre de Mandiargues escribe en el suculento postfacio que cierra este volumen, «Retorno a Roissy es un ala agregada al castillo casi mítico de O para descubrir que una mina colocada en sus cimientos está a punto de estallar y destruirlo». Pauline Réage es el pseudónimo bajo el que durante muchos años se ocultó Anne Desclos (1907-1998), intelectual francesa que en 1994 reconoció ser la autora de esta novela. Periodista, crítica de cine, traductora y colaboradora de la Nouvelle Revue Française, fue ayudante en la editorial Gallimard de Jean Paulhan: para él, a modo de carta de amor, escribió esta novela en 1954, y, posteriormente, su continuación, Retorno a Roissy. Una joven, por amor a su pareja, se inicia en el sadomasoquismo, en la novela más célebre sobre estos placeres eróticos.

Evelyn Waugh, T. S. Eliot und F. Scott Fitzgerald, und war eine anerkannte Literaturkritikerin sowie Jury-Mitglied bei Literaturpreisen. Sie wurde mit dem Orden der Ehrenlegion ausgezeichnet. Gegen Jean-Jacques Pauvert, den Verleger der "Historie d'O", wurde in Frankreich mehrfach Anklage erhoben, das Verfahren jedoch 1959 niedergeschlagen.

Zustand: Gut. FirstAmerican edition. 100 S. Umschlag leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - Desclos' lover and employer Jean Paulhan, a fervent admirer of the Marquis de Sade, had made the remark to her that no woman was capable of writing an erotic novel. To prove him wrong, Desclos wrote a graphic, sadomasochistic novel that was published under the pseudonym Pauline Réage in June 1954. Titled Histoire d'O (Story of O), with a sympathetic preface by Jean Paulhan which nevertheless did not reveal her identity, it was an enormous, though controversial, commercial success. The book caused much speculation as to the identity of the author. Many doubted that it was a woman, let alone the demure, intellectual, and almost prudish persona displayed in Dominique Aury's writings. Many well-known male writers were alternately suspected to be the author, including André Malraux and Henri de Montherlant. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.

Octavo. 18.5cm. Publisher's yellow paper wraps, titled in black to spine and front cover. 243pp. Clean and bright, with a dent to the head of the spine and a little soiling to the rear panel; internally clean with tape residue on flyleaves from a glassine jacket (which is present, but torn at the head of the rear panel), edges untrimmed. A very good, pleasing copy. This copy being #506 of a limitation of 1000 copies on Vergé paper, in French, printed between April and June of 1954. Desclos's incandescent erotic milestone, essentially an extended letter of lust to Jean Paulhan, who contributed the preface. Desclos's identity was secret until the 1990's, when she eventually revealed herself. Paulhan was a devotee of the works of De Sade, and allegedly teased Desclos with the statement that no woman could write like De Sade. Desclos accepted the challenge, and "Histoire D'O" manages to meet all the expectations of someone seeking a more modern incarnation of Sadeian fiction, whilst still containing many elements that have become genre tropes; secret societies, arcane rituals, deserted manor houses, and a number of other qualities that suggest that this kind of lush, heady erotic fiction is essentially gothic romance with the gloves off, and the gratuitously tightened corsetry on. The location of the remote manor house of iniquity and depravity (or freedom, if you prefer) is given as Samois sur Seine, and the name "Samois" was adopted by the first American lesbian BDSM collective in the late 1970's. Laid into this copy is a newspaper photograph of Paulhan, resplendent in his uniform as a Sergeant in the Zouaves. The first English language edition was published by Olympia, in 1965, and any early printing in either language can be considered collectable.
