La Société is a series of ten books written by French author Angela Behelle in 2012. This title refers to the red thread of the series, namely the formation, organization and drift of a secret society branching around a network of sexual services imagined by wealthy contributors for the sole purpose of their own pleasures.
Its originality lies in the range of services offered, from the hairdresser to the dresser or even the beautician, to the luxurious mansions made available to members of this circle who are grateful for a particular symbol: The Omega.
The action is contemporary and takes place in France, mainly at Paris.
La Société is a erotic literary series.
Plot[edit]
Mickaëlla Valmur, a 27-year-old widow, is the head of a huge fortune. Although wealthy at a very young age, she decided to retain her position as professor of Philosophy in a private institution reserved for the privileged class.
It is urged to deal in particular with a new pupil with a seemingly singular character.
Seventeen-year-old Alexis Duivel had only preceptors and an education adapted to his introvert temperament. His parents had to leave for New York, they preferred to see him follow a normal course in France to get his Bac. Sensing that Mickaëlla Valmur could demonstrate pedagogy adapted to their offspring, they persuaded the director to impose their decision without possible discussion.
Disturbed by this peremptory choice, she decides to accept the challenge.
Alexis, whom nature has gratified of amazing beauty, has to adapt to her school and get her degree.
Thanks to his intelligence, his confidence and his disturbing reparting, the young man manages to move his teacher. It imposes itself on it in a singular relationship that exceeds the framework of school education to open oneself to a knowledge of self that quickly reverses roles, the young Duivel becoming the master of a game to which Mickaëlla will lend itself with delight.
Qui de nous deux ? is the first opus of this family saga that opens the doors to the secrets of La Société and the hectic life of its members whose absolute imperative of discretion will not prevent a few deviations that will shake power until Highest peak.
Inspiration and controversy[edit]
In 2003, Angela Behelle becomes aware of a press article at least disturbingly.[1]. This article from Le Nouvel Observateur, "On attend Monsieur le ministre" ("We are waiting for the minister"), describes a bourgeois, Parisian, cultured and affluent society, indulging in the libertine pleasures without restraint and cultivating the self by having no concern for the rank or influence of his members.
Long before the French political news was upset by his first politico-sexual scandal of magnitude, soon known as the New York v. Strauss-Kahn, the author had completed the writing of her series[2]and the controversy arises at a completely different level. Indeed, at the appearance of the first opus, in June 2012, the undeniable success of the British literary series Fifty Shades of Grey[3] has not yet swept over France (the first episode will only appear in October 2012) and the erotic literature has not yet experienced its profound readership renewal[4].
Initially outraged by the pretended age of the protagonist, and then by the realistic description of certain sexual practices, part of the readers described the work as "dirty, vulgar, raw and violent", where others saw it as a real thrilling erotic suspense[5].
The remarkable success of this French series[6] owes a great deal to the success of the Anglo-Saxon erotic literature given to the taste of the day in 2012[4] and, somewhat paradoxically, to the fact that all the action of La Société takes place in France.

Anecdotes on the series[edit]
Angela Behelle gave the name of a grand cru de Chablis to the creator of La Société, Henri Valmur[2].
The name of Alexis Duivel refers to the Flemish translation of the French surname: the Devil.
The author distinguishes the odd volumes, with the more piquant eroticism, of the even volumes which contribute to the discovery of the meanders of the network of services[8].
The symbol of Omega is present on each cover of the different volumes of the series[9].
There have been many rumors about possible translations or adaptations, but none have materialized so far[10] · [11]
This series is not the author's only essay on the complex and often irrepressible relationship between men of influence and polymorphous sexuality. Au Bonheur de ces Dames, a novel published in 2015 continues the examination of political consciousness in the guise of a young virgin still ignorant of the brilliant future to which he is promised. His spiritual mistress takes the form this time of a buxom voluptuous librarian determined to reveal the full potential of this man in the making.
