法国，魅惑、优雅之国，她的一举一动总能轻易引领时尚的风潮；她以美酒美馔、窈窕佳人诱惑世人。 《纽约时报》资深记者伊莱恩·西奥利诺以外来人之姿，深入法国社会的方方面面，探究法式诱惑的真相，她告诉我们，诱惑不是法国与生俱来的风姿，而是世世代代法国人精心研习、打磨的生存技能。 法国人不但创造了充满情趣的消磨时间方式，更将它带到登峰造极的境界：小到诱人嗅闻的馥郁香氛，引人流连的浪漫花园，让人爱不释手的精巧物品，舍不得结束的美妙对话，大到政治选举、全球权力角逐。 诱惑成了法国的生活哲学，甚至非官方的意识形态。 然而，西奥利诺亦敏锐指出，这场诱惑游戏的边界到底在哪儿？ 诱惑发展到极致是否会衍生一种“反诱惑”？ 《法式诱惑》在引领读者全方位领略法国风情的同时，又能让读者保持批判的距离，实为了解法国当代文化的经典指南。
