前几年读到这本书，今生唯一的心愿就是见到作者并且翻译他的书。今年夏天我的愿望实现了，作者Robert Greenes现在是我的朋友，六月见到他，是我今年最大的收获之一。
请大家读这本书，浩瀚无边博大精深的历史都是一场场精彩的诱惑把戏。

一个有诱惑力的人需要“诱惑的艺术”吗？

玛雅的帖子是越写越短，越写越看不出体裁来了。
日记？博克？还是书评？
======================
By C. Middleton (Australia) - This review is from: The Art of Seduction (Hardcover)
This unusual text can be viewed from many points of view. On one level, the author's intentions are at best quite disturbing, because the texts theme has definite anti-social undertones. Deception, manipulation, exploitation of peoples weaknesses to achieve selfish ends has no moralistic value whatsoever; in fact the whole idea of preying on a 'victims' weaknesses in order to position them within your power, to then sexually dominate and influence them to your wiles and wishes, is a deplorable concept anyway you view it. Then again, from another perspective, the numerous techniques of seduction that Green instructs the reader on, supplying a plethora of examples from history and Western and Eastern literature, can teach us to be wary, or at least aware of certain individuals unscrupulous methods to attain what they desire. As the old saying goes, "Better the devil you know, than the one you don't."
The lessons on seduction, at bottom, can really only work if one's targeted victim has some weakness or vulnerability of character. (Green warns to stay away from confident, grounded individuals) Through subtly stalking your intended victim, listening to their every word, stroking their ego, thus discovering their weakness, you can then supply the necessary requirement, whether it be excitement, adventure, danger, loving parenting, add a little time and patience, your victim will eventually fall under your spell. This particular strategy of discovering weakness, focusing on needs, and appealing to an individual's ego, is as old as the pyramids themselves. What's interesting, however, is that this strategy works and continues to be used by individuals and organizations everywhere - but we continue to fall for the scam. And do not be fooled by Green's language and impressive erudite examples from the great works of literature - a scam is a scam no matter how you communicate it.
The text itself is a play on seduction. Green uses the two most seductive and sought after aspects of our existence to reel us into his tutorial: sex and power. None of us want to be victims, in fact we all want to dominate, be the winners, gratify our base and exalted desires. Do you want to unknowingly be seduced or be the seducer? The answer, of course, is evident. Green knows this and uses this strategy by proposing that he can give us an edge, supplying the means to attain our every desire.
In the end, after reading this text from cover to cover, I asked myself the question, what did I learn? What I learned is that certain individuals and organizations will go to any lengths, ethically or otherwise, to dominate others and get what they want. All things considered, it is better to know than to not know, no matter how unsavoury the subject matter.

比如touche这样的，根本就不用读。书名是艺术，其实全是历史。作者是古典学者，真正的犹太大学者。非常年轻，但样貌一点魅力或者诱惑都没有，让我很安全很放心地跟他交往：）这个星期会见到他。
Touche，这本书一定要翻翻的，不会浪费时间。
回青冈，没什么体裁不体裁，就是遇见好的就推荐给大家。这本确实好。我一句话讲完的，为什么要两句？青冈你写字也太啰嗦了，我要有你这毅力就好了。我觉得我写的都是废话。
