Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Venus in Furs" by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch is a novella published in 1870. The story follows Severin, a man so infatuated with a woman named Wanda that he begs to become her slave and endure increasingly degrading treatment. As their relationship intensifies during travels to Florence, Wanda embraces her dominant role while simultaneously despising Severin's submission. The novella explores themes of power, desire, and gender dynamics, drawing heavily from Sacher-Masoch's own life and inspiring the clinical term for masochism itself.
