adamantane's review
Men’s fantasies of rationalism (and what a “rational” woman is) will never cease being exhausting, will they?

"Man even when he is selfish or evil always follows principles, woman never follows anything but impulses. Don't ever forget that, and never feel secure with the woman you love.”
The original masochism and what powerful! This was so cathartic: it's funny, seducing, shaming as well as touching. I was moved by Severin's condition as a man I felt completely in his shoes but on the other side, I'm already praising Wanda von Dunajew, to her pagan seduction and her whimsical power. Call her evil or villainish but she's my literary heroine.
It eloquently explores the so-called "battle of the sexes" and has a remarkable journey and a definitive moral to it. After all, it is devilishly sexy and it makes bondage and masochism quite a remarkable experience.
I didn't know that a bondage erotica would be quite an erudite seduction.
