Described by Newsweek as "the season's most talked-about all-purpose personal strategy guide and philosophical compendium," Robert Greene's bold and elegant manual, "The 48 Laws of Power," captivated readers with its ingenious insights into modern manipulation. Now, Greene delves once more into history and literature to unravel the essence of seduction, the epitome of influence and the ultimate power pursuit.
In "The Art of Seduction," Greene crafts a masterful synthesis of the works of seminal thinkers like Freud, Ovid, Kierkegaard, and Einstein, alongside the exploits of history's greatest seducers. From Cleopatra to John F. Kennedy, from Andy Warhol to Josephine Bonaparte, this book penetrates the core of the seducer's character, revealing their tactics, triumphs, and failures. The seducer embodies a myriad of personas: the Siren, the Rake, the Ideal Lover, the Dandy, the Natural, the Coquette, the Charmer, and the Charismatic. Through twenty-four maneuvers, readers are guided through the seduction process, offered cunning, amoral instructions, and analysis of this captivating and pervasive form of power.
Just as meticulously crafted and indispensable as "The 48 Laws of Power," "The Art of Seduction" emerges as an essential primer of persuasion, providing invaluable lessons on how to attain desires or guard against manipulation.
