Venus in Furs Audiobook, by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Publisher Description

Venus in Furs is the best known work of the Austrian writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, who based this tale of love, humiliation, and obsession largely on his own life, and gave the English language the word "masochism." A compelling, well-written story of torment and sexual domination, it has inspired and influenced many psychologists, artists, and writers, from Thomas Mann to the Velvet Underground, since its first publication in 1870.

"because I was sold and betrayed by a woman (an actress) who affected the strictest principles and the most refined sensibility, I developed a hatred for poetic and sentimental virtue. Give me a woman honest enough to say, “I am La Pompadour, a Lucretia Borgia” - she is the woman I will worship. "

    " Confesso di averlo letto sulla scia di Venus in Furs dei Velvet Underground. Interessante come documento storico, ma non particolarmente eccitante o intrigante, visto che in definitiva è considerato un classico della letteratura erotica. Forse è davvero troppo datato come stile. "
