Demonic Women

A nobleman, Severin von Kuzimsky, dreams of meeting a strong and commanding woman—his ideal, which he calls dreamily “Venus in Furs.” At a deserted resort, Severin falls in love at first sight with the young widow Wanda von Dunaeva. In jest, Wanda offers Severin to become her slave, her plaything, and her fool. But when Severin enthusiastically accepts her proposal, Wanda herself begins to enjoy it just as quickly.

This edition also includes the stories “The Moonlit Night” and “The Love of Plato,” as well as “Venus in Furs,” which belong to the assumed cycle “Cain’s Legacy,” and the short story collection “Demonic Women.”
