  <default_description>The season's most talked-about all-purpose personal strategy guide  and philosophical compendium,&quot; said Newsweek of Robert Greene's bold, elegant,  and ingenious manual of modern manipulation, &lt;i&gt;The 48 Laws of Power&lt;/i&gt;. Now  Greene has once again mined history and literature to distill the essence of  seduction, the most highly refined mode of influence, the ultimate power  trip.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;i&gt;The Art of Seduction&lt;/i&gt; is a masterful synthesis of the work of thinkers  such as Freud, Ovid, Kierkegaard, and Einstein, as well as the achievements of  the greatest seducers throughout history. From Cleopatra to John F. Kennedy,  from Andy Warhol to Josephine Bonaparte, &lt;i&gt;The Art of Seduction&lt;/i&gt; gets to the  heart of the character of the seducer and his or her tactics, triumphs and  failures. The seducer's many faces include: the Siren, the Rake, the Ideal  Lover, the Dandy, the Natural, the Coquette, the Charmer, and the Charismatic.  Twenty-four maneuvers will guide readers through the seduction process,  providing cunning, amoral instructions for and analysis of this fascinating,  all-pervasive form of power. Just as beautifully packaged and every bit as  essential as &lt;i&gt;The 48 Laws of Power&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Art of Seduction&lt;/i&gt; is an  indispensable primer of persuasion and offers the best lessons on how to take  what you want from whomever you want or how to prevent yourself from being  taken.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[While this book seems to be marketed as a kind of &quot;how-to&quot; or a guide to seduction, it is more of a historical survey of seduction.
