This is obviously very poetic writing: 1) fancy way of saying the bookcase is behind the couch they are sitting and talking on. 2) the (magazine) collection is an attempt to impress women. 3) Music by Lou Reed is being played and it is apparently captivating (pursuit could be implying a courtship or attempt at romance). 4) "offer themselves" here means "contribute towards"

@jotall: thanks for your response, it's very helpful:)
just a few more questions here
so in the question 3, "their irresistible pursuit" might describe the lyrics of Lou Reed 's song? and for question 4, " The luxurious Parisian notes offer themselves to a fiercely feminine interior." Does that mean " the ton of the singer (Parisian notes) is very feminine " ? I am not pretty sure ..
thank you !
