Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This mesmerizing exploration of the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power is a masterful analysis of civilization's greatest seducers, from Cleopatra to JFK, as well as the classic literature of seduction from Freud to Kierkegaard and Ovid to Casanova. Robert Greene once again identifies the rules of a timeless, amoral game and explores how to cast a spell, break down resistance, and, ultimately, compel a target to surrender. Presenting the timeless profiles of each type of seducer and the twenty-four maneuvers that will guide you step by step in the game of seduction, The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer of persuasion that reveals the timeless power of this age-old art.

Review:

"This book will have real appeal for power mongers, gold diggers, and heartless manipulators everywhere." Library Journal

Review:

"Although the tactics Greene advises may be distasteful to some, his literary survey is fascinating." Booklist

The Rake Your greatest asset is your (bad) reputation. The Ideal Lover Embody their secret fantasies. The Dandy Stir their repressed desires. The Natural Be spontaneous, make them feel at ease.

The Star When all else fails, be worshipped.
