Fifty Shades of Grey (Book - 1) (Paperback) Price: Rs.243
This book is the first in a trilogy that explores the deep passions and dark secrets that drive the relationship between its two main characters.


When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.


Summary Of The Book

Fifty Shades of Grey is a book by British writer E. L. James. This is the first book in a series of three. The story revolves around the two protagonists - Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. The story is set in Seattle.

Anastasia Steele is a young literature graduate who is fresh out of college. She meets the young entrepreneur and billionaire Christian Grey for an interview, and finds herself irresistibly attracted towards him.

Anastasia is inexperienced and innocent, while Christian Grey is a man of immense wealth and power. He is manipulative and dominating.
Anastasia tries to put him out of her mind, but he turns up at her workplace and asks her out for a date. They gradually embark on a passionate relationship that reveals Anastasia’s own desires as well as dark secrets about Grey’s personality and his past.

As she explores his past, Anastasia understands his need to be in control of everything and everyone. His desires border on sadism and bondage, and he even gets her to sign a non-disclosure agreement and a contract that provides him full control over her life. The book then goes on to describe what happens to their relationship.

The story started as fan fiction, based on characters from the Twilight series. Because of its explicit sexual content, the author had to remove the story from the fan fiction website. She then changed the names of the main characters and developed the story into an erotic novel.
