Venus im Pelz by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch
"Venus im Pelz" by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch is a novella written in 1870. A young man named Severin becomes entranced by the beautiful widow Wanda and begs her to become his mistress in the literal sense—to dominate and control him completely. As Severin transforms into her slave Gregor, Wanda alternates between cruel tormentor and loving companion, pushing him to his physical and psychological limits. The work inspired the term "masochism" and
explores extreme power dynamics in relationships through Severin's obsessive desires and their devastating consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
