Sex With The Queen - 900 Years Of Vile Kings Virile Lovers Passionate Politics

Sex With The Queen - 900 Years Of Vile Kings Virile Lovers Passionate Politics

by Eleanor Herman

ISBN: 0-06-084673- 9 | PDF | 1.5 Mb | Pages: 338

http://rapidshare.com/files/4266 ... ionate_Politics.rar

From Publishers Weekly
When kings marry foreign strangers for dynastic or financial reasons and queens are trained in piety over sensuality, royal mistresses seem an inevitability. Kings had flings and extramarital relationships through much of European history, and in her first book, Herman offers, with relish and dry wit, a delightful overview of their sexual escapades. Her subjects are international, though France dominates and England gets a strong showing. It's a lively account, organized by topic e.g., "The Fruits of Sin桼oyal *****s." Herman weaves into a larger pattern the tales of recurrent figures, such as Louis XIV's mistress Ath閚aïs de Montespan and Madame de Pompadour, who is perhaps more famous than her royal lover, Louis XV. Fashions, love potions and cheerful conversation kept kings enthralled while mistresses made themselves wealthy, husbands acquiesced or simmered, courtiers wooed the mistresses and the public admired or ridiculed. A striking number of these relationships continued despite arguments and even the lack of sex. George II even felt it necessary to keep a mistress for his reputation despite actually loving his wife. Herman ends on a modern note, recounting how Camilla Parker-Bowles famously introduced herself to Prince Charles by noting that her great-grandmother had been his great-great-grandfather's mistress. Herman ends on a serious note, but her wit and perceptiveness will carry readers through this royally pleasurable romp.

From Booklist
Certainly a catchy title. And Herman's spirited history of royal "mistresshood" is certainly a catchy read. Her book is not a collective biography of mistresses of European kings through the ages, although she does pay relatively brief but nevertheless trenchant visits to famous ones and some not so famous. No, her book is more an accounting of the "art and science" of being a royal mistress, ranging in time from the "departing mists" of medieval Europe (before which "royal sin" was kept from public knowledge) to the present day (namely, Prince Charles' girlfriend, Camilla Parker-Bowles). Her treatment is a royal-mistresses-for-dummies look at male monarchs having sex on the side. She establishes a basic chronological history of the institution and assigns it a set of general characteristics (for instance, the paramour is "never to be tired, ill, complaining, or grief-stricken"). The author explains what mistresses got out of their relationships, and she looks into the issue of how mistresses traditionally got along (or didn't) with queen wives. History made as buoyant as fiction. Brad Hooper

Welcome to Shelfari!

Books are such a powerful medium.  Sometimes with all of the technology that has come in the last century it is easy to forget how revolutionary the printing press was.  Books are not going away and Shelfari is here to make your experience with books even better!!

Why do I love Shelfari?  I love it for three reasons.

You are what you read!

    Express yourself through your book collection!  Why just show off the books you identify with in your living room when you can post them on-line for all your friends to see them when they want too!

Listen to your friends!

    Most of us buy a book because someone we know recommends it to us.  Shelfari makes this easier by linking you with your friends and their bookshelves on the Internet.  All done on your own time whenever you feel like exploring the world of books.

A good book demands a Response!

    Love it.  Hate it.  Books are crying for two way interactivity.  Shelfari is a great place to rant and rave about why you couldn't put a book down.  Or if you can do the world a service and save your friends from wasting their time!

Happy Reading!

Josh

more nostalgic q....

"unsentimental rendering of Nigerian tribal life before and after the coming of colonialism. First published in 1958, just two years before Nigeria declared independence from Great Britain, the book eschews the obvious temptation of depicting pre-colonial life as a kind of Eden. ..sketches a world in which violence, war, and suffering exist, but are balanced by a strong sense of tradition, ritual, and social coherence. His Ibo protagonist is a self-made man. The son of a charming ne'er-do-well, he has worked all his life to overcome his father's weakness and has arrived, finally, at great prosperity and even greater reputation among his fellows in the village of Umuofia."
