Under the name Justine, a character from the Marquis de Sade, she began working at the Maison, a brothel that afforded special freedom to its employees. During the two years she worked as a prostitute at the Maison and the Manège—the former being heaven and the latter hell—Emma lived with women who were mothers, students, and even wives who hid their occupations from their husbands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFascinated by them, amidst the pleasure and admiration she felt in observing them, Emma narrated her own experience and affection for her \"sisters\"—often accompanied by love and desire. The result is this audacious autofiction, considered by some to be feminist in its own way, brimming with enchantment and reality. From their best experiences to their worst, we delve deeper into the motivation of these women and the power they wield over themselves and over men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eLa Maison\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel that not only dispels stereotypes associated with prostitution, but challenges them, presenting a multifaceted perspective on those who choose this profession—in the case of Emma and others, not out of strict necessity, but out of choice. From an unusual, and at times passionate, perspective, we enter the doors of that Berlin brothel and learn the stories of the women who worked there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"I can't reread my books without realizing that I've always written about women. About being a woman and how that takes on a thousand forms. And this will undoubtedly be my life's work: killing myself trying to describe this phenomenon and accepting the impression that, in a few hundred pages, I've advanced half an inch. And striving to be satisfied with that half an inch, as if it were a great discovery. Writing about whores, who are a caricature of women, the schematic nakedness of that state, being a woman and nothing more, getting paid for it, is like examining my sex under a microscope. And I feel the same fascination as a lab technician watching the cells essential to all life multiply between two glass slides.\" - Emma Becker)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAge rating: 18 years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175443185916,"sku":"9786555876642","price":109.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/31a710036082be2108d5b401808785b2.jpg?v=1778325909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/emma-becker.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
