Robert Greene's previous bestseller, The 48 Laws of Power, distilled 3,000 years of scheming into a guide People praised as "beguiling... literate... fascinating" and Kirkus denounced as "an anti-Book of Virtures."

In Art of Seduction, Greene returns with a new instruction book on the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power—because seduction isn't really about sex. It's about manipulating other people's greatest weakness: their desire for pleasure.

Synthesizing the work of thinkers including Freud, Diderot, Nietzsche, and Einstein, reporting the enticing strategies of characters throughout history, The Art of Seduction is a comprehensive guide to getting what we want—any way we can. Controversial but never dull, timeless and up-to-date, it's destined to be Greene's next bestseller.

About the Authors: ROBERT GREENE is the best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power and a self-described "history nut."

The "behind the arras stabbing antics" he witnessed there were, he realized, no different from those that had been played out throughout history.
