«Cómo conquistar a una mujer» is a classic text by Publio Ovidio Nasón, published by Guillermo Escolar Editor in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Ovid departs from the ideal of romantic love and offers a series of precepts for approaching women from an openly carnal point of view. The poet conceives this conquest as a struggle in which almost anything goes: he not only does not forbid tricks, ruses or stratagems, but promotes and recommends them to the reader.
It belongs to the collection «Los secretos de Diotima». Translation by Iván López Martín.
Publius Ovidius Naso, known in English as Ovid, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organised province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or ten years of his life. Ovid himself attributed his banishment to a carmen et error, but his reluctance to disclose specifics has resulted in much speculation among scholars.
