Description:

In one illustrated volume, 3 classic erotic texts: Venus in Furs, first published in 1870 as Venus im Pelz, by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch. It is the book from which the term masochism was coined. The adventures of the nobleman Severin von Kusiemski, obsessed by the cruel Wanda von Dunajew – a heady mix of whips and furs. This edition features some of the original illustrations by Charles Raymond, as well as those of other editions and period images. Yama (The Pit), a dark three-part tale of prostitution, translated from the Russian novel by Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin. First published in English in 1922. MADELEINE: An Autobiography, an anonymous, semi-fictional account of a female brothel keeper, first published in 1919. Tales from whore-houses in Chicago, Butte, St Louis, and from the Canadian North-West. This e-book version is illustrated with vintage photos and prints, plus mock parchment paper effect for an authentic Victorian "look-and-feel"
