Now quite rare in commerce and institutions with one copy only on WorldCat at the Bibliothe?que nationale de France. No copy in Houghton. Nordmann lacked an example. Guacamole 196. Provenance: the Bibliothe?ques of Jean-Pierre Faur and Emmanuel Pierrat. A stunning copy of a rigorously printed book, the most important of Sacher-Masoch's novels, or at the very least the most read. The term masochism is derived from Sacher-Masoch, and was made popular by Krafft-Ebing in his seminal work on sexual psychopathy. The sexologist said about the term: '?I feel justified in calling this sexual anomaly 'Masochism,' because the author Sacher- Masoch frequently made this perversion, which up to his time was quite unknown to the scientific world as such. he was a gifted writer, and as such would have achieved real greatness had he been actuated by normally sexual feelings''. The novel is a partly biographical one, and tells the story of a man who signs a six month long contract to be enslaved to a beautiful and cruel woman, who spends the majority of her time humiliating and abusing him clothed in furs. Also includes an essay by the translator Raphae?l Ledos de Beaufort on the author, masochism (of course) and the history of flagellation. The book inspired the Velvet Underground song ?Venus in Furs' with the line 'Strike dear Mistress and cure his heart' . The group was named after another paraphiliac book by Michael Leigh. 219571.…
