The hidden truth about the French way of life: it's all
about seduction—its rules, its pleasures, its secrets France is a seductive country, seductive in its elegance,
its beauty, its sensual pleasures, and its joie de vivre.
But Elaine Sciolino, the longtime Paris bureau chief of The
New York Times, has discovered that seduction is much more
than a game to the French: it is the key to understanding
France. Seduction plays a crucial role in how the French relate to
one another—not just in romantic relationships but also in
how they conduct business, enjoy food and drink, define
style, engage in intellectual debate, elect politicians, and
project power around the world. While sexual repartee and
conquest remain at the heart of seduction, for the French
seduction has become a philosophy of life, even an ideology,
that can confuse outsiders. In La Seduction, Sciolino gives us an inside view of how
seduction works in all areas, analyzing its limits as well
as its power. She demystifies the French way of life in an
entertaining and personal narrative that carries us from the
neighborhood shops of Paris to the halls of government, from
the gardens of Versailles to the agricultural heartland. La Seduction will charm you and encourage you to lower your
defenses about the French. Pull up a chair and let Elaine
Sciolino seduce you.

Re: La Seduction
I'd love to read this book. I've always known that a woman can achieve a lot by "eye contact & Flirting", body language and conversation, but how to use those femine ways in every day living could be wonderful.
