Venus in Furs: The Almighty Lord hath delivered him into the hands of a woman

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's most enduring work, Venus in Furs, is a haunting exploration of desire, power, and submission. This public domain edition presents the complete 1921 translation by Fernanda Savage, capturing the feverish intensity of Severin's obsession with the enigmatic Wanda von Dunajew.

This edition has been carefully formatted for modern readers. We have applied clean typesetting, proper paragraph breaks, and readable fonts that meet KDP's highest standards. No blurry scans, no missing pages, no OCR errors.

When Severin confesses his dream of becoming the absolute slave of a beautiful, cruel woman, Wanda agrees to embody his fantasy. What follows is a psychological descent into the heart of masochism — a term coined from the author's own name. Set against the backdrop of the Carpathian mountains and later Florence, Venus in Furs remains one of the most daring and analyzed works of European literature.

This edition includes an introduction by Fernanda Savage (1921) and a brief author biography. Whether you are a student of psychology, a fan of Gothic romance, or a collector of classic erotica, this beautifully reformatted volume belongs on your shelf.
