Product Description

Review
"This provocative work places von Sacher-Masoch's classic 1870 novel "Venus in Furs "next to Deleuze's essay arguing that popular assumptions beginning with Freud have effectively obscured the unique power of von Sacher-Masoch's eroticism as well as the true nature of what might be called a masochist 'order.'" --Keith Thompson, Utne Reader

Synopsis
Includes "Coldness and Cruelty," by Gilles Deleuze, a study of masochism and sadism, as well as "Venus in Furs," the original novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Controversial, thorough, and generally inspired., 18 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book combines Masoch's Venus in Furs and Deleuze's insightful counter-argument to Freud's concept of Masochism. Basically, the dominatrix is not 'the father' in disguise, it is the woman that beats and the masochist becomes a subversive in banishing the father completely. Great Stuff!
