Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895), whose name has been
immortalized in the term masochism, is known today predominantly
for his novel Venus in Furs and for his tales of dominant women and
suffering men. In his own lifetime, however, he was also famous as
the author of vibrant tales from Galicia, the exotic eastern edge
of the Austrian empire, where he championed the cause of the
region's most oppressed minorities, the Ruthenians and the Jews.
This collection features some of his best-known Jewish tales which
display the authors warm sense of humanity as well as his
considerable sense of humor. Sacher-Masoch's unusual ability to
capture the essence of a person or place with a telling detail
brings the vanished world of Galician Jewry back to life in all its
splendor and squalor, mixing the grays, browns, and blacks of
European Realism with the bright, sparkling colors of legend, myth,
fairy tale, and tradition. Sacher-Masoch's work is currently
enjoying a revival among scholars and general readers alike.
