Venus in Furs
Description
Venus in Furs is a book by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, first published in 1870. This provocative novel explores themes of love, power, and desire through the story of Severin von Kusiemski, a man who longs to be dominated by the beautiful and enigmatic Wanda von Dunajew.
Their relationship becomes a psychological and emotional exploration of submission and control, laying the foundation for what would later be recognized as masochism—a term derived from Sacher-Masoch’s own name.
Blending romance, philosophy, and psychological insight, Venus in Furs challenges societal norms and delves into the complexities of human relationships. The novel was highly influential, not only in literature but also in shaping discussions on power dynamics in love and desire. Its impact extends beyond its era, inspiring numerous adaptations and remaining a significant work in the exploration of human passion and psychology.
