"Venus in Furs is a classic book. I read it years and years ago. It gives us an honest and more nuanced understanding of masochism, the term spawned by this book."

"this copy of venus in furs is especially delightful because of the introduction by sylvere lotringer, the founder of semiotext(e). as he says in the intro, it offers such a magical mixture of dream and reality that, in it, the two are inextricable! keep dreaming, my love! leopold von sacher masoch is a heart throb..."

"Not recommended for everyone.This novella,gave name to the fetish "masochism" (as in "Sacher-Masoch"). It's been referenced in songs by Velvet Underground, Marilyn Manson,cradle of filth etc.Written by Sacher-Masoch,by Sacher-Masoch, this novella was 1st published in 1870 Germany
Cultural references
*The novel has been adapted for film three times: in 1967, in 1969 and in 1994. The 1994 film was directed by Maartje Seyferth and Victor E. Nieuwenhuijs (see the website), and received an award at the 1994 international film festival of Saint Petersburg, Russia.

*The lyrics of The Velvet Underground song "Venus in Furs" refer to this book. In the 1998 Todd Haynes film Velvet Goldmine, main character Brian Slade's backing band is called "Venus in Furs".

*The Scottish songwriter and blogger Nick Currie, AKA Momus, referred to Sacher-Masoch in the song "Jesus in Furs" from the album Otto Spooky.

*The American shock rock band, Marilyn Manson's song, "Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag" of of their The Golden Age of Grotesque album, references the book with the line "we've got our Venus not in Furs but in uniform"

*Cradle Of Filth included a track called "Venus In Fear" on their 1998 album Cruelty and the Beast."
