I've
stayed
here
for
the
longest
time
as
far
as
the
palace
is
concerned,
this
place
is
interesting
to
me,
intriguing,
if
we
take
into
account
everything
we
know
and
just
assume
what
we
don't
know.
so
my
wife
and
I
indulged
ourselves
in
contemplation
and
reflection,
to
the
will,
without
any
haste.
Nice
during
that
time,
very
lavish,
but
again
my
subjective
feeling
says
-----
sad
place.
250
chambers
(not
all
open
to
visit),
numerous
auxiliary
chambers,
bathrooms,
inner
courtyards,
semi-dark
staircases
ideal
for
a
night
ambush
of
dangerous
opponents.
The
windows
are
lavishly
decorated,
but
not
a
bird
to
fly
through.
Only
the
sun's
air
could
go
in
and
out
when
it
wanted,
and
of
course
the
Sultan.
It
was
a
female
dungeon,
though.
Intrigue
and
ambition
led
the
main
word
and
of
course
the
Sultan's
mother.
Her
sumptuous
chambers
speak
of
the
influence
this
woman
had
over
her
son,
Harem
and
the
empire.
The
rods
on
the
walls
were
used
for
beating
on
the
soles
of
the
guilty
but
also
the
innocent,
regularly
used
on
newcomers.
There
was
something
sad
about
that
harem,
there
must
have
been
a
lot
of
tears
shed
right
here.
Slaves
brought
from
all
sides,
torn
away
from
their
roots,
alone,
without
knowledge
of
the
language,
most
often.
Slaves
forced
to
fight
relentlessly
to
survive
would
most
often
become
ferocious
or,
if
they
could
not,
be
gone.
Beauty
was
a
sin
in
Harem;
there
was
no
indifference,
so
that
beautiful
slaves
became
prey
to
jealous
women
rather
than
being
noticed
by
the
Sultan.
The
main
goal,
how
to
become
a
Sultan's
darling
and
give
birth
to
a
male
child
and
then,
if
they
succeed,
how
to
preserve
themselves
and
their
children
in
life,
because
poisoning
and
murder
were
a
very
common
thing.
Officially,
about
one
hundred
shahzad
(princes)
were
killed
or
poisoned.

Ovde
sam
se
najduže
zadržao
što
se
tiče
palate,
meni
je
ovo
mesto
interesantno,
intrigantno,
ako
uzmemo
u
obzir
sve
ono
što
znamo
i
samo
pretpostavimo
ono
što
ne
znamo..
Imao
sam
sreće,
nija
bila
strašna
gužva
u
Haremu
u
trenutku
moje
posete,
tako
da
smo
se
moja
supruga
i
ja
prepustili
razgledanju
i
razmišljanju
do
mile
volje,
bez
ikakvog
požurivanja.
Lepo
za
to
vreme,
veoma
raskošno,
al
opet
moj
subjektivni
osećaj
kaže
-----tužno
mesto.
250
odaja
(nisu
sve
otvorene
za
posetu),
brojne
pomoćne
odaje,
kupatila,
unutrašnja
dvorišta,
polumračna
stepeništa
idealna
za
noćnu
zasedu
opasnih
protivnica..
Prozori
raskošno
ukrašeni,
ali
ni
ptica
da
proleti
kroz
njih.
Samo
sunčev
zrak
je
mogao
da
uđe
i
izađe
kad
poželi,
i
naravno
Sultan.
Ipak
je
to
bila
ženska
tamnica
.
Intriga
i
ambicija
su
vodile
glavnu
reč
i
naravno
sultanova
majka.
Njena
raskošne
odaje,
govore
o
uticaju
koji
je
ova
žena
imala
nad
svojim
sinom,
Haremom
i
carstvom.
Štapovi
na
zidovima
su
služili
za
batinanje
po
tabanima
krivih
ali
i
nedužnih,
regularno
primenjivano
na
novajlijama.
Nešto
mi
je
bilo
tužno
u
tom
haremu,
mora
da
je
mnogo
suza
proliveno
baš
ovde
.
Robinje
dovođene
sa
svih
strana,
otrgnute
od
svojih
korena,
same,
bez
znanja
jezika,
najčešće.
Robinje-primorane
na
nemilosrdnu
borbu
da
bi
preživele,
najčešće
bi
postajale
svirepe
ili
ako
to
nisu
mogle,
ne
bi
ih
više
bilo.
Lepota
je
u
Haremu
bila
greh,
nije
bilo
ravnodušnih,
tako
da
su
lepe
robinje
pre
postajale
plen
ljubomornih
žena
nego
što
bi
stigle
da
budu
primećene
od
strane
sultana.
Glavni
cilj,
kako
postati
sultanova
miljenica
i
roditi
mu
muško
dete,
a
potom
ako
bi
to
uspele,
kako
sačuvati
sebe
i
decu
u
životu,
jer
su
trovanja
i
ubistva
bila
vrlo
uobičajena
stvar.
Zvanično,
oko
stotinu
šehzada
(prinčeva)
je
ubijeno
ili
otrovano.
