Publisher's Summary

This is the best known work of this Austrian writer and poet who based this tale of love, humiliation and obsession largely on his own life and gave the English language the word masochism.

A compelling well written story it has inspired and influenced many psychologists, artists, writers and musicians from Thomas Mann to the Velvet Underground and even Freud, since its first publication in 1870.

The reader Michael Praed is an accomplished actor whose extensive experience confidently captures this fascinating story of torment and sexual female domination.

Why is the cover photo a sub woman it’s about a female Dominant!!!

My only real issue is that the cover photo is of a half naked woman in cuffs. That is the opposite of the context of the book. Was it so offensive to think of a woman in a position of power that someone had to censor the image and make it look like a female submissive.

Regards,
A real life female dominatrix. We exist.

Very disappointed

This is not the full play a lot of it has been removed. I love the play and the narrator did a good job. I wish they didn't edit any of it. Very disappointed.
