Which sort of seducer could you be: *Siren?
*Rake? *Cold Coquette? *Star? *Comedian? *Charismatic? or *Saint? This
book will show you which. 'Charm, persuasion, the ability to create
illusions: these are some of the many dazzling gifts of the Seducer, the
compelling figure who is able to manipulate, mislead and give pleasure
all at once.
When raised to the level of art, seduction,
an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won
elections and enslaved great minds. In this beautiful, sensually
designed book, Greene unearths the two sides of seduction: the
characters and the process. Discover who you, or your pursuer, most
resembles. Learn, too, the pitfalls of the anti-Seducer. In part II,
immerse yourself in the twenty-four manoeuvres and strategies of the
seductive process, the ritual by which a seducer gains mastery over
their target. Understand how to 'Choose the Right Victim', 'Appear to Be
an Object of Desire' and 'Confuse Desire and Reality'. In addition,
Greene provides instruction on how to identify victims by type. Each
fascinating character and each cunning tactic demonstrates a fundamental
truth about who we are, and the targets we've become - or hope to win
over. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate power trip.
