In Sister Gumbo, black women shared what they had to say about life and love. Now, in Mister Gumbo, ladies hear what black men have to say about sex, women, lust, love, and relationships. What black men really think about- One-night stands- Living life on the "down-low"- Baby Mamas- "Milk in my coffee" (dating white women)- Marriage- Finding a relationship with God- And much, much more. . .
African-American women's lives and relationships are complex and at times, deliciously spicy. So, when two sisters decided to interview over twenty women about relationships, sex, spirituality, and self, the result was a fantastic collection of funny, sassy, and moving vignettes. From Jackie, who still loves to have sex with her husband of 28 years, to Lady, who is considering the pro's and con's of her extramarital affair, to Ayoka, who recently discovered her own inner spirituality, these women will draw you in to their lives. Their candid interviews offer insightful and intimate portraits of everyday African-American women.

Det andra bandet om Drottningholms slott från Gustav III till Carl XVI Gustaf skildrar Drottningholm under gustaviansk tid, men också slottets mindre kända 1800-tal. För första gången får nu även det innehållsrika 1900-talet sin beskrivning, med återuppväckandet av slottsteatern och restaureringen av barockträdgården som några av höjdpunkterna. Även dagens kungliga residens Ett kungligt hem i tiden får en vidare presentation. Drottningholms slott har alltid tilldragit sig stor uppmärksamhet både i Sverige och i utlandet. Med sin lustträdgård och slottsteater fördes slottet 1991 upp på UNESCO:s världsarvslista. Vi får också ta del av Drottningholms framtidsvisioner. Fotografen Åke E:son Lindman förmedlar, tillsammans med ett stort bildmaterial bestående av ritningar och kartor, en rik och mångskiftande bild av ett av vårt lands främsta byggnadsverk.

Ursula is the legitimate daughter of the widower Dr Denis Minoret's deceased illegitimate brother-in-law by marriage, Joseph Mirou t; not only is she the doctor's niece, she is also his goddaughter and ward. Fifteen years old when the novel begins, she has been brought up by the doctor. Dr Minoret, an atheist rather than an agnostic, and a devoted student of the Encyclop die, has persisted in his rationalistic atheism for most of his eighty-three years. At the beginning of the novel he is, however, converted to Christianity - emotionally by the example of Ursulea's piety, and intellectually by his experience of animal magnetism, or the paranormal, and by his longstanding friendship with Abb Chaperon. Dr Minoret is determined that Ursula shall inherit all the savings he has accumulated during his lifetime. He intends, on the other hand, to bequeath the remainder (approximately half) of his total fortune of about 1,500,000 francs to his "h ritiers", nephews and cousins of his own bloodline who are members of the Minoret, Cr mi re and Massin families. Discontented with their inheritance prospects, the "heirs" seek to grab the whole of their wealthy relative's fortune, enlisting the help of the notary's clerk Goupil. The doctor conceals a letter of testamentary intention in a legal volume in his library. This, together with three bearer bonds, is stolen by one of the doctor's nephews, the postmaster Fran ois Minoret-Levrault, who, in the era before railways, owns and manages the carriage and postchaise services in and out of Nemours. The doctor dies, leaving Ursula much poorer than he had intended, for her inheritance would have become her dowry. Despite their best efforts - ransacking all the books in his library - the "heirs" (or "family") cannot find the clue to the money. But remorse strikes Minoret-Levrault, and the doctor, appearing to him in a vision, instructs him to make good his theft. By an act of poetic justice the postmaster's dandyish son D sir Minoret-Levrault is killed in a stagecoach accident. Ursula marries the man of her dreams, the young Army officer Viscount Savinien de Portendu re.
