About this book

Inside the Seraglio: Private Lives of the Sultans in Istanbul by Freely, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140270563.

Inside the Seraglio takes us behind the doors of Topkapi Sarayi and the other palaces of the Ottoman sultans who for more than six centuries ruled one of the worlds most powerful empires. The heart of the palace was the Harem, the womens quarters, ruled by the Valide, or Queen Mother. Described here and illustrated throughout with images of this sequestered court, is the history and life of this remarkable palace in all its colour and opulence, and the story of its influence on a great empire.
