Description

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch is a novella that explores themes of female dominance and male sexual submission. Written as part of his Legacy of Cain cycle, the work has become one of the author's most enduring and influential works. The story revolves around an unnamed man who develops a strong desire after having a vivid dream in which he speaks to the goddess Venus while she is wearing luxuriant furs. He then recounts his love affair with Wanda von Dunajew, describing how she takes advantage of her power over him, satisfying his desires while learning more about herself. This edition of Venus in Furs offers a reimagining of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's classic work for modern readers, providing a unique insight into the representation of alternative sexualities.
