{"product_id":"man-in-furs-hc-csaitm188537","title":"MAN IN FURS HC","description":"\u003cp\u003eA graphic biography of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the author whose name came to define the tendency to derive pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from one\\'s own pain or humiliation. In 1870, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch published Venus in Furs, an erotic novel revealing the author\\'s desire to be dominated by a woman. (And paid homage in the classic Velvet Underground song of the same name.) After the novel\\'s success, a woman turns up at his doorstep and offers to take on the role in Sacher-Masoch\\'s real life. He completely submits to her, and they get married. Years later, Leopold has remarried and lives a quiet life, far removed from the sexual escapades of his first marriage. Then he learns that his surname, to his detriment, has come to describe a new sexual perversion: masochism. Man In Furs is his story. This compelling graphic biography is a collaboration between the biographer Catherine Sauvat and the celebrated cartoonist Anne Simon. Simon\\'s gentle cartooning perfectly complements Sauvat\\'s empathetic script.
