Confessions of Wanda Von Sacher-Masoch

Autobiography. Finally available in English: the racy and riveting CONFESSIONS OF WANDA VON SACHER-MASOCH -- married for ten years to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (author of VENUS IN FURS and many other novels) whose whip-and-fur bedroom games spawned the term masochism. Originally published in French in 1907, this narrative of an idealistic, sensitive woman embroiled in a net of sexual peril, betrayl and deceit is well ahead of its time.
