O is a young, beautiful fashion photographer in Paris. One day her lover, René, takes her to a château, where she is enslaved, with René's approval, and systematically sexually assaulted by various other men. Later, René turns O over to Sir Stephen, an English friend who intensifies the brutality. But the final humiliation is yet to come.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity." (Graham Greene)

WARNING #1: If you have never read Story of O, you will want to skip the introductory chapter and the essay "Happiness in Slavery" which comes afterwards. Skip to chapter 3, where Story of O begins, then when you are finished with the novel, come back to those introductory chapters as they give you important insights into the deeper meaning of the text.

Warning #2: If you have ever used the term "problematic" to describe erotica or erotic romance, this novel is not for you. The Story of O is erotica, not romance. It is interested, at least at the surface level, in taking us through a character's sexual awakening. BUT, beyond that is a book about a woman's dark descent until she is slowly stripped away into nothingness.

Story of O has more in common with de Sade's brand of erotica than it does mass market erotic romance where HFN or HEA are expected. This is a dark and twisted but also very clever novel. It is both a love letter written to the writer's lover at the time but also a novel that can viewed through a feminist lens. The narrator is almost like a detached naturalist observing O's descent. There are hints that the author is in no way advocating for women to completely submit to men. In fact, she shows the horrors of what becomes of O as she continuously gives up her agency in service to a man.

I expected dark erotica, and I got so much more. I did research into the author, and she was a famous and respected literary critic and essayist, and it shows. Story of O is a literary work that gives us dark insights into the psychology of power dynamics, how women choose to define themselves, and the stark reality of the libertine lifestyle. We get to watch O become more twisted as the story moves along until the horror of what she has become is apparent to others. The last chapter is subtly haunting in its imagery. Well done., Ms. Reage for giving your reader the unflinching portrait of the destruction of a woman disguised as an adoring love letter.

A character study that is dismissed as pornography

Wow, what a well written slave story that was shocking, erotic, and brazen. I can only say with absolute certainty that lifestyle is way beyond my compression and further I felt twisted internally by what O would have considered joyous and I found immensely sad. I only recommend this if you are prepared to be stricken by immense emotional upheaval. It's not for the faint of heart.

Haunted and absolutely disturbing!

The character deserves more feelings. I felt that O deserved a greater life. Was not a fan of the ending. The more I read it, the more I kept waiting that it will get better but nope. I don’t understand the point of a book like this. It’s like she existed, that’s it. O never really lived through the story, which is why it is sad.

Sad and disturbing

The story itself is unique and interesting. BDSM is such a fluid concept despite the disciplines exacted in its lifestyle that to gain an insight into one person’s experience is thought provoking. The narrator I thought brought out the story in an exquisite way.

Very well done/read

Classic story . Basic porn for everyone to know. I journey must find the basic locations of “ O’s” journey into captivity although not anywhere around here or my life path.

Classic story, everyone should know the story of O

Would you listen to Story of O again? Why?

Yes, I will wait at least a year because I became outraged listening to the level of inhumanity one woman would endure in the name of "love". To think these dehumanizingactivities may go on in the world is truly disturbing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Story of O?

When O has a chance to get away from the abusive behavior she chose to stay.

What does Käthe Mazur bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ms. Mazur reads with a slow steady pace. It allows the listener to really absorb what is happening and the mind blowing way in which this woman accepts her fate and how in the end she is discarded like a piece of garbage.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did. I was shocked then angry and at the end very, very sad. I wanted to shake O awake until I realized she had become numb from her mistreatment and would have enjoyed my actions and nothing would change.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to any reader that enjoyed the Shades of Gray trilogy. While I did not read the series I would hope that listeners of this story would understand that we demoralize our selves by making these abusive behaviors entertainment. the Story of O was an education.
I downloaded the book because J.K. Rowling refused to read the Shades of Gray series
after reading this one.

Changed my view on a lot of things

I liked the story but it was very very far from the realm of something I could understand. The very worst part was the cruel, abrupt, unclear end. I have to alter the ending in my brain in order to accept the parts I liked of this book.

Cruel ending - I guess I’m not deep enough to understand

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was - if you are interested in the genre.

Would you be willing to try another book from Pauline Reage? Why or why not?

There are better French erotica writers.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I thought the narrator had a very nice voice for the part.

Could you see Story of O being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Oh my - in my fantasy life it would star Juliette Binoche. I'm not holding my breath.

Any additional comments?

Again, it's a classic if you are into the genre. If not, skip it.

Classic French Erotica

I was so enthralled and enslaved by this novel that I found my neck jerking with each tug of O's collar, my heart jumping with anticipation of O's punishments, and my body squirming in reaction to the strikes of the riding crop. The narrator did a fantastic job of speaking with the mood of the novel. The only criticism I have is for the last few pages of the book. The second ending was rather rushed and condensed for such a marvelously descritive novel.

An arousing novel for all your senses.
