zlib_text: Esther Vilar – The Manipulated Man
  This book is dedicated to all those whom it does 
  not mention: to the few men who refuse to be 
  manipulated, to the few women who are not 
  venal and all those fortunate enough to have lost 
  their market value because they are either too 
  old, too ugly, or too ill.
  ESTHER VILAR was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She studied
  medicine and sociology before becoming a writer. She followed the 
  world-wide success of The Manipulated Man with two more books 
  about the relationship between the sexes, the novels The Mosquito,
  The Mathematics of Nina Gluckstein and The Seven Fires of 
  Mademoiselle and numerous plays, including The American Popess,
  Speer, and Jealousy.
