The Power of Mesmerism is erotic fiction. It tells about a young man who learned the power of mesmerism (natural magnetism to influence living beings) and decided to use this skill to fulfill erotic desires. As he gets successful with that, he starts to help other people (mostly his relatives) satisfy their lust as well. The story describes a wide range of sexual activities, including homosexual relations, flagellation, etc., and is closely reminiscent of the memoirs of Marquis De Sade.
