Stripped Of its trammels and tassels Of sentimental and mawkish fairy tales and dramatic Arabian Night stories, the Harem is plainly one Of the fundamental prin ciples Of Mohammedanism, which permits a man to marry as many as four women at a time, under certain restrictive conditions; to keep them indoors, behind locks and bars, or under veil and shawl when out of doors, away from the gaze Of men other than their hus bands or immediate members Of the family, and to divorce them, according to the Koranic laws, until a man shall have married as many as seven women all told.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Harem I had quarters most of the time in_the Mohammedan section of the city. When I went across the bridge over the Golden Horn to Para where the Europeans and Greeks live I saw new sights. There the women go about with their faces uncovered, men and women talk to gether. All this was new to me, and it surprised me greatly. But the most significant thing to me was coming to know the life of the women in the Turkish Harems, and what the supposed great dignity of Mohammedan women really amounted to, and to learn the purpose of a man having so many wives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem Hese letters do not claim to be a psycho logical study of Turkish character, nor are they a political or historical treatise. They are only an Englishwoman's impressions of Turkish harem life, written during a very happy and in teresting visit amongst Turkish friends. Should I not have said in these letters what my Turkish sisters expected me to say; should I not have understood their civilization as they hoped I would understand it; I feel sure they will forgive one who they know has always been, and will always be their sincere friend. To correct. The errors, prejudice, and hatred which have become almost part of the British national attitude towards Turkey is not an easy task. If these letters have been able in ever so small a way to spread some of the enthusiasm and love I feel for a nation which Europe has so severely censured, they will at least have justified the reason of their existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Haremlik: Some Pages From the Life of Turkish Women The mist was slowly lifting so slowly that one could imagine an invisible hand to be reluctantly drawing aside veils from the face of nature. As the air became clearer, the slender minarets were seen first above the other buildings; and then, little by little, Constantinople, Queen of Cities, revealed herself to our hungry eyes. And as if Nature were but Constantinople's handmaiden, the last of the fog was suddenly transmuted to glorious sunshine, that we might the more surely be surprised and dazzled with the beauty of the Sultan's capital.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkish Life and Character, Vol. 1 I went to Constantinople in the early autumn of 1859 to see for myself in what state of health the Sick Man was. I found him poorly, very poorly, and with all the diplomatic physicians, cane to nose, shaking their subtle heads round his Sultanic bed. They felt his pulse from time to time, and they pre scribed anti-muscovite nostrums; but, for my own part, I think they did him no good, for they merely kept the fresh air from coming to his bed, and only delayed his inevitable departure.

Download or read book The Harem written by Norman Mosley Penzer and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly four centuries, the Ottoman sultans dwelt amid the secret splendors of Topkapi Palace. Access to the Grand Seraglio--which served as the empire's administrative, legislative, and judicial center and an academy of fine arts, as well as the ruler's home--was jealously guarded, even after the sultans ceased to reside there in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1936, a distinguished scholar of Orientalism, Norman Mosley Penzer (1892-1960), was afforded a rare opportunity to step inside the Grand Seraglio; in this eagerly embraced and much-consulted volume, he reveals what he found. Constructed between 1459 and 1465 at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Topkapi Palace stands in present-day Istanbul, near the confluence of the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn, and the Marmara Sea. Penzer surveyed the entire palace from end to end during numerous visits over the course of two years, and he presents photographs and floor plans that provide a comprehensive view of Topkapi's structure. Penzer's illustrations of the opulent gardens, chambers, and pavilions come to imaginative life with his explorations of day-to-day palace life--particularly among the women of the harem and their eunuch guards. His evocative accounts of the manners, dress, and politics of Turkish court life continue to influence the scholarly work of the twenty-first century, and this classic history remains indispensable to studies of harem life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This all-color book describes the Turkish harem in a comprehensive manner, bringing it to life with sensual, evocative illustrations and well-documented text." "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."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
