Venus in Furs (1870) is a novella by Austrian writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Intended as an installment in his Legacy of Cain cycle, Venus in Furs has far surpassed the author's other works in cementing his reputation. The work, which inspired Kraft-Ebing to define "masochism," is notable for its exploration of female dominance and male sexual submission. The frame narrative begins with an unnamed man who develops a strong sexual desire after having a vivid dream. Disturbed, he tells a friend about the vision, in which he spoke to the goddess Venus while she was wearing luxuriant furs. In the memoir, which appears to have written by his friend, a man named Severin von Kusiemski describes his love affair with Wanda von Dunajew. Moved by a strong desire, Severin asks to be made Dunajew's slave, and though she denies him at first, she soon grows to take advantage of her power of the man. As she grows progressively more violent in her treatment of Severin, she satisfies his desires while simultaneously learning more about her own. Severin, who describes himself as a suprasensualist travels with Dunajew to Florence, where he invents an identity as a Russian servant and acquiesces to a life of degradation and servitude. When Dunajew meets a domineering and attractive man, however, she begins to question her role as Severin's master, desiring a submissive relationship of her own. Venus in Furs is a semi-autobiographical work describing Sacher-Masoch's details through a thin veil of fictional devices, and remains influential for charting new territories in the representation of alternative sexualities. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs is a classic of Austrian literature reimagined for modern readers.

"I had wrapped the tire iron carefully in towels, good towels, so it wouldn't mark him in any way or draw blood. I picked it up off the floor now with my right hand and swung, like a tennis serve, really, and caught him at the back of his pewter hair. Perfect, a perfect hit. He went over into the front seat, and all I had to do was pull him in, turn him--not so easy; he was heavy--and shut the door behind him. I looked carefully; he was still clutching the attache--I knew he'd be awfully angry if we'd lost it--and gunned the car away from the curb. I don't think I even wondered if anyone noticed, and I guess nobody did. This was New York. ___________________________________ We were going to my house; I didn't think much beyond that. He would be so happy, so relieved to be there. "I want to be with you," he had said so many times. "But you know I can't." And he had always smiled as he said this: "Steal me."

On a whim, San Franciscan Kara Billingsley accepted an invitation from an ex-boyfriend to visit Kona, Hawaii, in 1976. She didn't expect to fall in love-with the island. In Island Woman, Billingsley uses a combination of prose and poetry to describe her experiences of living in Hawaii. This memoir captures the eroticism of the island-the elemental, untamed energy of feminine nature. With humor, she tells stories of her interesting arrival on the island, of searching for Kona gold, of how Rabbit Hill got its name, and the mystery of her mother's secret. Through her poetry selections, Billingsley pays tribute to the nature, beauty, and the sensual side of Kona, Hawaii-an island that became her home.
