{"product_id":"man-in-furs-hc","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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39418306494566,"sku":"SEP211541","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/6873\/5334\/products\/STL194361.jpg?v=1629772777","url":"https:\/\/impulsecreations.com\/products\/man-in-furs-hc","provider":"Impulse Creations Comics \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
