    ‘Venus in Fur’ puts modern twist on classic S&M novella

    The raciness in Fifty Shades of Grey is hardly original. The 1870s did sadomasochism first with Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s novella Venus in Furs. In fact, the very term masochism is derived from the author’s name. But perhaps even Venus in Furs is a little passé.
