The Image (Creation Modern Classics)

Summary: An Enchantment for the Few
Review: The Image was one of the first erotic novels I read, and it left a greater impression on me than even Story of O. It can be repellent, but how deliciously repellent. It is vivid, and how powerfully so. It is small and slight, as it should be. It is like a little album of photographs that we carry around for a lifetime. The images created by this book are strong, rich and lasting. The battle of wits between little Anne, her mistress and the male observer is never really won, but played out exquisitely to a climax that is neither satisfying nor predictable. The cruelty is tender, the flesh is vulnerable and the object of desire is as ambiguous as our reaction. We can only wish for a relationship that permeates the senses like the one in The Image.

Summary: Well writen, thrilling fictional writing in sadomasochism
Review: This book grabs the readers interest immediately with its mysteriousness. Mysteriousness leads to subtle sado-sexuality that slowly increases in its brutality. By the time the major event of this book arrives in next to the last chapter, one is screaming for it to happen. Once I picked up this book, I could not put it down. Persons who are not into sadomasochism will be mesermerized and tittilated beyond expectation. Entertaining is the least I can say for this little volume. It has been made into a movie also, but it is very difficult to find. SFB
