The acclaimed author of "The 33 Strategies of War" and "The 48 Laws of Power" reveals in this book one of the most powerful weapons with what we count on in our social, professional and affectionate lives. It deals with seductions, an ability that is available to anyone, and when employed skillfully, it permits you to manipulate, control and persuade the will of others without relying on physical violence or psychological pressure. With his clarity and pleasant characteristics, Robert Greene shows here everything that can be accomplished with this subtle art, like the strategies, maneuvers and efficient rules to get it. With these means it is supported by examples taken from history and from some biographies of some of history's most celebrated seducers, like Cleopatra, Casanova, De Gaulle and John F. Kennedy. This way you can summarize the ideas of those who have studied this topic, like the poet Ovidio and the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard.
