Austrian writer and journalist (1836–1895) from whose name the word masochism is derived. ALS in German, signed “Leopold Ritter von Sacher Masoch,” one page, 5.75 x 9, April 13, 1878. Letter to a gentleman. In full (translated): “My interest and my sympathies for Judaism inspire me to send to you my recently published ‘Judengeschichten’ [Jewish Stories] as well as the review of them in the ‘Judischen Literaturblatt’ [Jewish Literature Magazine]. I would be happy to make your acquaintance and therefore would like to ask you to name an hour where I would least be disturbing you.” In fine condition, with an unobtrusive area of paper loss to the top edge. Sacher-Masoch edited the Leipzig-based monthly literary magazine Auf der Hohe, Internationale Review, a progressive magazine aimed at tolerance and integration for Jews in Saxony, as well as for the emancipation of women with articles on women’s education.
