The feeling of being a psychological slave the author described as suprasensual, intense  and sharp pleasure getting power over him. Under this impression he wrote his Venus who is, in his imagination a dark goddess whose love means absolute ruin for the man. The main character in the novel, Severin von Kusiemsky, is sure to be Masoch's alter ego. He is mad about Wanda von Dunajew and offers her himself as a slave. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf at first all this seems like a silly joke to the woman, later she feels her power and humiliates Severin as much as she can. However, passion raises up even more when the other man appears in the life of this extremely disturbing couple.  It is clear that there will be no happy end inthis demonic story of sick and unrestrained lust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book constantly alludes to the principles of mythological justice which quite different from the contemporary concept, so the pagan atmosphere of Masoch's uniquely ravishing story makes it a masterpiece of the world literature.","brand":"Magic Fairy Tales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076007248112,"sku":"2940151512121","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151512121_p0.jpg?v=1764014434","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151512121","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
