Venus in furs. Zacher-Mazokh L.

Austrian writer Leopold von Zaher-Mazokh created plays, feuilletons, stories on historical topics. But the worldwide fame was brought to him by novels and stories, where the main thing is the topic of the mockery of a despotistical woman over a weak man; At the same time, a man receives pleasure from physical and emotional violence by a woman (masochism). The collection included the most popular work - “Venus in Furs” (1870), written after the writer’s heavy rupture with his lover, Fanny von Pistor; The story “Moonlit Night”, “Love of Plato”, as well as stories from the cycle “Demonic Women”.. In the garden on the moonlit night, Severin meets Venus - her name is Wanda von Dunaev. It gives the stone statue of the goddess to vilify her fur cloak and offers Severin to become her slave. Severin is ready for anything! Soon Wanda appears in front of him in the mining katsaveik with a whip in his hands. Hit. "Beat me without any pity!" A city of blows. "Away from my eyes, slave!" Duple days - highly measured coldness of vanda, rare affection, long separation. Then a contract was concluded: Wanda has the right to torment him at his first whim or even kill him if he wants. Severin writes a note to Wanda’s dictation about his voluntary care. Now his fate is in her lovely chubby hands.
