Description

COSIMO CLASSICS Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Before Fifty Shades of Grey there was Venus in Furs. A novella that was originally part of the epic series Legacy of Cain by Leopold von SacherMasoch Venus in Furs is an exploration of the themes of sadomasochism and female dominance in a time when the terms had yet to be conceived. The main character dreams of the goddess Venus wearing furs while he speaks to her about love. Unable to let go of the fantasy he reads a book that tells the story of Severin and Wanda a couple involved in a sadomasochistic relationship. Severin enslaves himself to Wanda who treats him with everincreasing brutality and disdain. The novel was translated into English in 1921 by Fernanda Savage and has been adapted multiple times for film and theater. In 2013 it was adapted for film again into a French movie by the same title based on the 2010 play by American playwright David Ives which was in turn inspired by this classic. LEOPOLD VON SACHERMASOCH (18361895) was an Austrian journalist and author best known for his romantic stories of Eastern Central European life. SacherMasoch studied law mathematics and history at the University of Graz and soon after became a professor in what is now the city of Lviv Ukraine. He wrote several nonfiction works before focusing on Austrian folktales. Socialist and humanist ideals as well as historical themes heavily influenced his fictional writing; from the 1860s to the 1880s he published a wide variety of short stories which soon eclipsed his nonfiction writing. Von SacherMasochs most famous short story Venus in Furs (1870) originally part of the Legacy of Cain series is one of only a few of his titles translated into English. The sadomasochistic themes of the tale as well as von SacherMasochs own proclivities contributed to the term masochism being derived from his name.show more
