The Art of Seduction

Description

By Robert Greene

Greene treats seduction as the most indirect and the most effective form of power, and takes it apart the way he took power apart in The 48 Laws.

The first half sets out nine seducer types and the victim types each one works on; the second half is the process itself, in twenty-four manoeuvres, from creating a false sense of security to the final surrender. Illustrated throughout with historical cases, from Cleopatra to political campaigns.
