Zusammenfassung

It is Lord Acton who says: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." Is it that power yields desire, the desire to tame, the desire to win? In history it is true not only for kings but queens also. The kings had concubines and harems of thousand prized girls. So also, the queens did not fall behind in building harems or having their desire fulfilled with hundreds of men. Egyptian beauty queen Cleopatra, Queen Enzinga of Angola, Queen Catherine of Russia, Princess Diana are very effective counterparts of their fellow kings. However they are also revered in history. They seem to be very effectively able to manage their public and private lives. Cleopatra had her desire fulfilled with several Roman generals. It is said that she had satisfied more than a hundred romans in a single night. Queen Enzinga had her own Arabian nights, killing the male after the mating. Queen Catherine is said to be dead in her attempt to have a relationship with a horse. The lusty life of princess Diana is an example to itself in the modern world. This book tries to have a glance into their secret private lives.
