Emmanuel Arsan (born 1938) is the pseudonym of the charming Eurasian Maryette Rollet-Andrian, the wife of a member of the French mission to UNESCO, who previously held a diplomatic post in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. Subsequently, he was excommunicated from diplomacy, since the French authorities considered the status of a diplomat and the husband of a sex revolutionary, the author of the infamous novel “Emmanuelle,” incompatible. Her frank, free view of sexual relations made E. Arsan famous throughout the world and turned her into a cult figure in both sides of the Atlantic.
