The Story of O
The Story of O
by PAULINE RÉAGE
From forbidden pages to perfume: the inspiration for LA BAGUE D'o.
The infamous erotic novel The Story of O (Histoire d’O) is the seminal tale of sexual submission that inspired our fragrance La Bague d’O. Written under a pseudonym, it was first published in 1954 but quickly drew legal scrutiny; obscenity laws curtailed further editions until 1967. Even so, in 1959 Olympia Press, under Maurice Girodias, issued this daring publication.
This is the Traveller’s Companion edition of The Story of O, wrapped in its iconic green cover. Reprinted in 1965, it appears as no. 44 in Olympia Press’s 94-book series of erotica and boundary-pushing works once banned or censored in their own countries. This edition also includes an essay by the author’s lover, the literary critic Jean Paulhan.

"O was blindfolded again. Then they made her walk forward--she stumbled slightly as she went--until she felt that she was standing in front of the fire around which the four men were seated: she could feel the heat, and in the silence she could hear the quiet crackling of the burning logs."
