In the stories? Emmanuelle: The Anti-Virgin? While the character is best known as the star of a series of pornographic movies, most notably the film starring Sylvia Kristel, she originated in a banned novel by Marayat Rollet-Andriane pen name Emmanuelle Arsan , a Thai French woman.
Emmanuelle has a sexual encounter on a plane, plays a steamy game of squash with a countess, falls for a woman named Bee, and has an intense experience at a temple, among the many other transgressive exploits Crepax details from the novel.
And, in an innovation of Crepax's own? This volume is the first of two featuring comics adaptations from the literary erotica canon along with supplemental and contextual material. And, as Antonio Crepax observed in the Crepax Archives,? In the first of two volumes in Fantagraphics' Crepax series devoted to the artist's comics adaptations of the erotic literary canon, Valentina takes on Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye, and then we follow Arsan's Emmanuelle on her sensual journey.
