Product Description
Synopsis
Built between 1459-65, Constantinople's Tokapi Palace remained among the world's most mysterious and unapproachable retreats for more than five centuries. This glimpse into the Grand Seraglio offers vivid portraits of the palace's architecture and of life within its walls, with particular emphasis on the manners and politics of the women of the harem and the eunuchs who guarded them.

Well documented, but BORING
18 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
This would be an excellent book for a college course on Turkish history, but if you are looking for an interesting book- MOVE ALONG.
This book is so incredibly boring to read, it'll put you down like a baseball bat.
Other than that- it's well written and very concise. Do not expect anything racy or sexy. It treats sex like a seventh grade health course.
The book also does not deal with the Harem entirely. It covers the palace of the Sultan, which the Harem is only one part. So don't expect an entire book on slave girls. It covers everything else and only spends part of the book on the women themselves.
I have this book and I'm looking for another book to supplement it.
