This review is from: Sex Lives of the Rich and Famous (Paperback)
This book is surely an amalgam of facts and gossip. It has no references and no index. It shows already spelling faults in the names. So, it is not recommendable as a prime source of information for serious scholars.Nevertheless, its overall picture exposes one clear message: the blatant hypocrisy of the powerful, be they popes, emperors, tsars, kings, queens, princes, Khedives, Shahs, politicians or noblemen. Their maxim is 'Do as I say, not as I do.' Those who became rich (merchants, movie stars, artists) emulated them (T. Veblen). It proves mightily that 'power equals women'. On the other hand, some 'famous' names figuring in thus book are clearly 'victims' of this double standard hypocrisy: child prostitutes, courtesans, members of the demi-monde or findings of the casting couch. As L. Betzig said in her magisterial book 'Despotism and Differential Reproduction': 'All end of human life is its reproduction, and positions of strenght are exploited to this end.' This 'shocking' book is a powerful exposé. |
