About this ebook
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's 'Venus in Furs' is a provocative and controversial novella that explores themes of power, sexuality, and sadomasochism. The story follows a man who becomes infatuated with a woman and asks to be her slave, encouraging her to treat him in increasingly degrading ways. As she begins to embrace the idea, she both enjoys the power it gives her and disdains the man for allowing her to do so. The story is told through a framing device in which the narrator dreams of speaking to Venus about love while she wears furs, and his friend Severin encourages him to read a manuscript about a man who becomes a slave to his lover. 'Venus in Furs' is a complex and challenging work that continues to provoke discussion and debate about the nature of power and desire.
