This Robert Greene's book is not a book about the psychological or psychoanalytical theory of seduction mechanism but classificatory description seducing seduction and modes. The author distinguishes ten types of seducer (or seductress) to which it attaches a symbol. For example, the Mermaid; associated symbol: water. Each type is illustrated with examples and anecdotes from history: in this case, Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe. Each type of seducer is associated with a type of victim.
The process of seduction are then divided into four phases: separation / stir the interest and desire, pleasure and distraction that creates confusion, deepening the effect by extreme measures until the "killing "finale where the victim succumbed to her seducer. The political charisma, collective form of seduction is of course addressed in the book. Here we discover a beautiful seductive gallery derived from the ancient and contemporary history. Women: Joséphine de Beauharnais, George Sand, Lou Andreas-Salomé, for example, or men: Duke Ellington, JF Kennedy, Gabriele d'Annunzio.
The style is nice, very well done layout. We understand that some "pickup artists" make it their bedside book. A reference in the field in some way.
