Turkish harems, in particular, have remained largely secret despite the interest of European travellers. This is not surprising since they could only be visited by close family members, all~powerful eunuchs, and the ruler of the house, all other men were barred entry. In consequence, much of what we know about harems is second~hand, or the result of a vivid imagination. The very word 'harem' designates a closed, reserved place, that part of the Ottoman living quarters set apart for women, a place containing the most luxurious and elaborate rooms in the house. It is traditionally the seductive, intimate heart of every home or palace. This beautiful, all~color book describes the Turkish harem in a comprehensive manner, bringing it to life with sensual, evocative illustrations and well~documented text. There is a detailed and fascinating description of the Topkapi in Istanbul, the palace of the court of the Turkish sultans, of its rooms of state, its kitchens, its elegant gardens and pavilions, the hospital and the school for princes of the blood, and, of course, the intrigue~filled Harem. Here, odalisques and sultanas~controlled by feared eunuchs~spent their lives lounging in various degrees of undress, bathing, being massaged and coiffed, gossiping endlessly in the hamman, being entertained by acrobats, musicians, and dancers, and partaking of dishes of extraordinary refinement cooked with ingredients brought from all parts of a vast empire. Ever present in this sybaritic atmosphere, however, were the lurking ambitions of women eager to advance their positions as well as those of their sons~by becoming the Sultan's favorite through their carefully honed powers of seduction. For the winners, there was an eventual place as the valide sultana, or Queen Mother, whose son had gained power in good part due to a mother's cunning. For the losers, there was banishment from the Topkapi and for their male offspring either strangulation with a silk cord, or life imprisonment within the confines of the palace. The author describes the reigns and idiosyncracies of the Sultans and their favorites and brilliantly traces the decline of a once mighty empire grown soft from the corruption of absolute power, the influence of Europe, and above all, the usurpation of control by the very women who were supposed to live in complete subjugation to their lords and masters. Illustrated by documents of the period, old and new photographs, and masterpieces by Renoir, Delacroix, Matisse, and Ingres among others, this revelation of a lost way of life will enchant anybody whose imagination has been inflamed by tales of a thousand and one nights.
