La Mère de Dieu by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch
"La Mère de Dieu" by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch is a Gothic novel published in 1880. Mardona leads a religious sect as "the Mother of God," imposing strict punishment for sin while preaching divine maternal love. When her devotee Sabatil loves another woman, Mardona's jealousy erupts into violence—she crucifies him with help from his beloved. This dark tale explores themes of maternal power, religious devotion, cruelty, and the blurred line between sacred love
and punishment in a cult-like community. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
