{"product_id":"9780140447811","title":"Venus in Furs by Joachim Neugroschel","description":"Venus in Furs' describes the obsessions of Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman who desires to be enslaved to a woman. Severin finds his ideal of voluptuous cruelty in the merciless Wanda von Dunajew. This is a passionate and powerful portrayal of one man's struggle to enlighten and instruct himself and others in the realm of desire. Published in 1870, the novel gained notoriety and a degree of immortality for its author when the word \"masochism\" - derived from his name - entered the vocabulary of psychiatry. This remains a classic literary statement on sexual submission and control.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224135774581,"sku":"9780140447811","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780140447811.jpg?v=1762221726","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780140447811","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
