The Essential Seducer

More about the book

In this entertaining and enlightening collection of quotations, Peter Haining has distilled the writings of generations about the erotic power struggle in which men and women have served as tempter or tempted. Seduction is the key to this art, and though the technique may prove successful and the pleasure exciting, there can be penalties, too—as playwrights, poets, and novelists who have been attracted to the subject have also pointed out.
