«Le livre des séductions» is Malek Chebel's essay on seduction in the Maghreb, published by Payot in paperback (149 pages, in French).
In a gynaeceum, a child receives the caresses of the tribe's women; from that scene, Chebel examines seduction as an everyday practice in the Maghreb and, in the manner of Stendhal in «De l'amour», traces its variations before the Western gaze.
The full title of the volume is «Le livre des séductions, suivi de Dix aphorismes sur l'amour», and it belongs to the Petite Bibliothèque Payot collection.
Aimed at readers interested in anthropology, Maghrebi culture, and the essay on love and desire.
Malek Chebel was a notable Algerian philosopher and anthropologist of religions. He was one of the most prominent North African intellectuals. He studied in Algeria, then later in France at Paris where he also studied psychoanalysis. He was a teacher at many universities worldwide.
