Emmanuelle (Abridged) Audiobook

Bored by her new life with her husband in exotic Thailand, nineteen-year-old Emmanuelle decides to taste for herself the erotic fruits that the orient has to offer. The lovely young bride, a tantalizing combination of innocent and temptress, has learned much about the secrets of love. Yet prior to her arrival in the tropics she has never experienced the pleasure of unfettered eroticism. Guided and instructed on an odyssey of desire by the elderly Mario, Emmanuelle embarks upon a series of daring and uninhibited sexual encounters. Only through these can she discover the power and the joy of complete erotic fulfilment.

“Lyrical and graphic…But it’s not all salacious play-by-play. The sex scenes are interspersed with abstract musings about the nature of sex. One of the central ideas, which I will now clinically paraphrase to conform to standards of decency, is this: the definition of the erotic is arousal, not climax…the book’s argument reverberates beyond the erotic. The writing I most enjoy now delights in the moment’s contours and textures, not surprising plot twists. The best work seduces the reader through nuanced details and observations, and does away with italics and exclamation points. It takes pleasure in the ambiguous interstices of life while dismissing its flagrant resolutions. In short, it arouses.”
