Venus in Furs
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was born in Lemberg, Austrian Galicia, on January 27, 1836. He studied jurisprudence at Prague and Graz, and in 1857 became a teacher at the latter university. He published several historical works, but soon gave up his academic career to devote himself wholly to literature.

The novel was to be part of an epic series that Sacher-Masoch envisioned called Legacy of Cain. Venus in Furs was part of Love, the first volume of the series. It was published in 1870.The novel draws themes, like female dominance and sadomasochism, and character inspiration heavily from Sacher-Masoch's own life. Wanda von Dunajew, the novel's central female character, was modelled after Fanny Pistor, who was an emerging literary writer. The two met when Pistor contacted Sacher-Masoch, under assumed name and fictitious title of Baroness Bogdanoff, for suggestions on improving her writing to make it suitable for publication.The framing story concerns a man who dreams of speaking to Venus about love while she wears furs. The unnamed narrator tells his dreams to a friend, Severin, who tells him how to break himself of his fascination with cruel women by reading a manuscript, Memoirs of a Suprasensual Man.

Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch - Venus in Furs
Severin is so infatuated with Wanda that he requests to be treated as her slave and encourages her to treat him in progressively more degrading ways. At first Wanda does not want to, but later embraces the idea; though at the same time, she disdains Severin for allowing her to do so. Severin describes his feelings during these experiences as suprasensuality. Wanda treats him brutally as a servant, and recruits a trio of African women to dominate him. The relationship arrives at a crisis point when Wanda herself meets a man to whom she would like to submit. Severin, humiliated by Wanda's new lover, ceases to desire to submit, stating that men should dominate women until the time when women are equal to men in education and rights. Probably the first book which blatantly addresses the issue of female sexual domination, this is today a classic of the genre and it is the author from whom the word masochism takes its name.

Venus in Furs - Sacher
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, nacido en Lemberg, en lo que hoy es Ucrania, fue un destacado escritor y pensador austrohúngaro. Sacher-Masoch es considerado uno de los pioneros en explorar los temas de la sumisión y el sadomasoquismo en la literatura. Su celebridad se debe ante todo al escándalo que acompañó la publicación de algunas de sus novelas, en particular: La Venus de las pieles, y a ser el apellido Masoch el inspirador de la palabra masoquismo. Escrito en 1870, el libro La Venus de las Pieles, de Leopold Sacher-Masoch, narra los diálogos y las prácticas sexuales de los protagonistas: Severin y Wanda, una pareja que, a través de un contrato, registra formalmente que Severin se c...
Venus In Furs
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, an Austrian novelist, first published his book "Venus in Furs" in 1870. The narrative centers on Severin von Kusiemski, who develops an obsession with Wanda von Dunajew. Wanda's attractiveness and assertive nature interest Severin, who persuades her to accept him as her slave. When Wanda agrees, Severin submits to her completely, giving her the power to rule and manipulate him. The book examines topics including sexuality and desire as well as power, dominance, and surrender. It is significant for establishing the idea of masochism, which bears the author's name and refers to the practice of taking pleasure in humiliation or suffering. The book has received acclaim for its psychological nuance and examination of interpersonal connections, but it has also drawn criticism for how it portrays women and for its overtly sexualized language. Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and the furs Wanda dons while controlling Severin are references in the book's title. The book has been converted into a variety of media, such as operas, plays, and movies, and it has impacted the creative output of numerous writers and performers.
