  • "First published in 1870, the author of 'Venus in Furs' defined ' and unwittingly gave his own name to ' that sexual proclivity we know as masochism in this understated, charged erotic classic. What woman could resist a trembling man handing her the whip' Severin is a young Galician nobleman with a secret; he can only love a woman with a ruthless heart, who will rain her whip upon him in a shower of bloody kisses. When he meets Wanda, the wealthy and beautiful widow living in the apartment upstairs, he wonders if she might be the one to help him realise his darkest desires. But Wanda is better than she ever dreamed possible at domination ' and soon Severin realises he is powerless to escape what he has begun. Here, fantasy and reality writhe together in a ceaseless, fraught embrace'"

  • "Venus in Furs is psycho-sexual novella by Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the best known of his works. The term "masochism", which describes a sexual desire to have pain inflicted on oneself, derives from the author's surname. The novel was part of an epic series that Sacher-Masoch envisioned called Legacy of Cain. Venus in Furs was part of Love, the first volume of the series. It was published in 1870. The novel draws themes and character inspiration heavily from Sacher-Masoch's own life. Wanda von Dunajew (the novel's central female character) was modelled after Fanny Pistor, who."@en
  • "" 'Venus in Furs' describes the obsessions of Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman who desires to be enslaved to a woman. Severin finds his ideal of voluptuous cruelty in the merciless Wanda von Dunajew. This is a passionate and powerful portrayal of one man's struggle to enlighten and instruct himself and others in the realm of desire. Published in 1870, the novel gained notoriety and a degree of immortality for its author when the word "masochism" -- derived from his name - entered the vocabulary of psychiatry. This remains a classic literary statement on sexual submission and control." -- Publisher description."@en

  • "Now available as an eBook, the classic erotic novel by the father of BDSM who has captivated readers for over a century with his visionary tale of seduction and power. Originally published in 1870, Venus in Furs was ahead of its time. Revolutionizing popular thought on the relationship among love, sex, and power, it paved the way for modern erotica like the wildly popular Fifty Shades of Grey series. It has inspired films, a song written by Lou Reed and performed by the Velvet Underground, and'most recently'the four-time Tony nominated play Venus in Fur starring Hugh Dancy and Nina Arianda. Sensitive artist Severin, humiliated as a child by a glamorously cold aunt, has grown into a man who longs to worship a woman with his whole self. When he meets the beautiful widow Wanda at an Italian resort, he is so captivated by her that he begs to be taken as her slave. Reluctant at first, Wanda soon finds herself drawn into the dark world of dominance and drunk on lust and control. Wanda abuses Severin mercilessly, drawing him deeper into her web of dominance and sex, but their relationship is put to the test when Wanda meets a man to whom she'd rather be the slave than the master'."@en
