Venus in Furs

Exploring themes of female dominance and sadomasochism, this novella delves into a man's obsession with the goddess Venus, leading him to a manuscript detailing a complex relationship of power dynamics. The narrative reflects the author's own experiences and is part of his larger "Legacy of Cain" series. Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch, an influential 19th-century writer, inspired the term "masochism" through his provocative storytelling. This edition includes a new biography, reviving a classic that has become increasingly rare.
