内容简介

An engaging critique of Western misconceptions about the mysterious East. Alain Grosrichard's fascinating survey focuses particularly on portrayals of the Ottoman Empire by Western intellectuals and the supposedly enigmatic structure of the despot's court--the seraglio--with its viziers, janissaries, mutes, dwarfs, eunuchs, and countless wives.
