«La Vénus à la fourrure et autres nouvelles» is a collection of short stories by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch published by Pocket in paperback (343 pages, in French).
Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman, becomes fascinated by Wanda von Dunajew, a woman of dominant character, and agrees with her to a relationship of voluntary submission. The work explores the war of the sexes, desire, humiliation and absolute surrender, and this edition brings together the main story with other nouvelles by the author.
The work was originally published in German in 1870 as «Venus im Pelz»; the author's surname gave its name to masochism.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics and of literature that addresses desire, submission and eroticism.
