Diario del seduttore

This book is a shit. Seducer Johannes meets beautiful innocent Cordelia and decides to dedicate all his efforts to conquer her, but never physically, just emotionally. He is only interested in the game, not the bed. Paying attention to every single little detail, slowly, cunningly, he intents to s

Søren Kierkegaard: „Ciudat lucru, dar ideea de seducător lipseşte cu desăvîrşire în elenism“. Lucrarea este o re-scriere explicită a mitului donjuanesc.

من پاییز و زمستان سال قبل رو با این کتاب سر کردم، و حدود نصفش رو ترجمه کردم و قصدم این بود که به صورت رایگان روی اینترنت منتشرش کنم. امسال توسط یکی از دوستان گودریدز متوجه شدم که کسی این کتاب رو (که بخشی از کتاب بلند کیرکگور به نام "یا این یا آن" هستش) ترجمه کرده و قراره امسال منتشر بشه. این شد که ک Leggi tutto

In the vast literature of love, The Seducer's Diary is an intricate curiosity--a feverishly intellectual attempt to reconstruct an erotic failure as a pedagogic success, a wound masked as a boast. – John Updike in his introduction to The Seducer's Diary Regine Olsen occupies a central role in Kierkeg Leggi tutto
