Description

In a world of decadence and obsession, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was the esteemed author whose name would come to mean the dark sexuality based on pain where lovers become willing slaves. Masoch lived in the nineteenth century in the heart of the Austrian empire, where the Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"), considered the most beautiful woman in Europe with her 16-inch waist and flowing hair, ran away from palace drudgery to live in a pink castle of her own in Greece; her cousin Ludwig of Bavaria regularly dined with his mare and rode out through the night from his Grotto of Venus; and her son, Crown Prince Rudolph, was destined to end his life as a murderer in the hunting lodge of Mayerling. For Masoch, as for the Marquis de Sade, cruelty was a necessary component to erotic love, though the two men experienced it from opposite sides. International bestselling author Kathrin Perutz breathes new life into the history of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch and the Imperial court of Austria as the 19th century lived out its unspeakable passions. Her telling of the life and times of the respected author, perfect for those who know and love Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, explores freely the dark sexuality that he embraced and called "masochism."
