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\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
