Seduction & the Secret Power of Women: The Lure of Sirens & Mermaids.

Mermaids rule the world: just look at the 35,000+ Starbucks scattered across the world. But humans have long been obsessed with mermaids and sirens. Seduction & the Secret Power of Women is stuffed with color illustrations from dudes like Rubens, Bosch, Munch, and Magritte. Back in prehistory, Ulysses was driven mad with thirst as he passed the sirens. With their womanly torsos and animal lower halves, they are stuffed with metaphorical potential. Sirens are the ultimate unavailable seductresses. From Homer and Euripides to Joyce and Yeats, writers have been intrigued by these lady monsters for as long as writing has existed. Unplug your ears and jump into the stream to learn all there is to learn about these OG femme fatales.
