Leopold, Chevalier de Sacher-Masoch, was born in 1836 at Lemberg, capital of Galicia, where his father was chief of police. He died at Lindheim, Hesse, in 1895. He studied at Prague and at the Gratz University, where later he became professor of history.The success of his first romance, “A Galician Story,” published in 1858, induced the author to resign his professorship here, but he afterward accepted another chair at the University at Lemberg.The best of his tales, most of which are short stories, are those that present Galician life or little Russian, or Jewish, all lighted by a graceful, keen, but amiable humor and sympathy—a man of the world’s tolerance for all phases of human nature.The word “Masochism” has been invented to characterize a unique species of erotic character frequently found in Sacher-Masoch’s stories.
