Vanna - Emmanuelle Arsan

From the bestselling author of Emmanuelle comes another lush exploration of sensuality, freedom and desire. Set against the rich cultural backdrop of Cairo and Egypt's ancient landscapes, Vanna follows a beautiful young woman devoted to experiencing every facet of love and pleasure. When Guido, an inquisitive traveller fascinated by both Egypt's history and its erotic traditions, enters her world, the pair embark on an intimate journey that blends passion, philosophy and discovery.

Like Arsan's earlier novels, Vanna is as much an exploration of erotic ideals as it is a work of fiction, using exotic settings and introspective conversations to examine the boundaries between love, sexuality and personal liberation. Elegant, provocative and unmistakably a product of the 1970s wave of literary erotic fiction, it remains a noteworthy companion to the Emmanuelle series and a fascinating example of the genre's most influential works.
