Présentation de l'éditeur :
This is a classic. Who knows the mind of human beings when it comes to sexual arousal, excitement, desire? One day you want to dominate your woman. You want her to respect you, admire you, obey you. You jealously keep her contained against any possible suitors-and then-for just a moment-you wonder. What if the roles were reversed? What if she suddenly became dominant over you? Any honest human being, regardless of gender or sexual orientation knows this to be true. It is disturbing-but isn't the whole human sexual experience? Like many books once banned, it touches the inner recesses of the human mind. And that is something the narrow minded puritan can not handle, and so trash talks into something evil and perverse. Go for it, and if it disturbs you, enjoy the rush.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch (27 January 1836 – 9 March 1895) was an Austrian writer and journalist, who gained renown for his romantic stories of Galician life. The term masochism is derived from his name. During his lifetime, Sacher-Masoch was well known as a man of letters, a utopian thinker who espoused socialist and humanist ideals in his fiction and non-fiction. Most of his works remain untranslated into English. Until recently, his novel Venus in Furs was his only book commonly available in English, but an English translation by William Holmes of Die Gottesmutter was released in 2015 as The Mother of God.
