Product Details
- The book tells the story of Roxelana, a slave girl from Ruthenia, who became the queen of the Ottoman Empire.
- Roxelana was taken to Istanbul and trained in the palace harem before becoming a concubine for Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent.
- She captivated Suleyman, leading him to free and marry her, making her the only concubine he committed to.
- The book challenges the historical portrayal of Roxelana as a seductress who brought ruin to the empire, presenting her as a shrewd diplomat and philanthropist who had a significant impact on the Ottoman harem and imperial rule.
- It is authored by Leslie Peirce, an acclaimed historian, who reinterprets the intriguing story of Roxelana with depth and panache.
- The narrative sheds light on how Roxelana transformed the Ottoman harem and played a vital role in keeping the empire abreast with the evolving world.
