The Confessions of Wanda von Sacher-Masoch is a compelling story of a woman's search for her own identity, strength, and independence. Confessions reveals how Wanda was forced to play "sadistic" roles in Leopold's fantasies to ensure the survival of herself and her children—games which called into question who was the Master and who was the Slave. Underneath its unforgettable imagery and emotional cataclysms resides a woman's consistent, unblinking investigation of the limits of morality and the deepest meanings of love. Translated from French by Marian Phillips, Caroline Hebert, and V. Vale.
