LOTI Pierre, "Les Désenchantées. Roman des harems turcs contemporains", Paris, Calmann-Lévy, Éditeurs, [1906]. In 12mo, p. 434. Original edition, with photographic frontispiece. Huge success when it was published, this beautiful exercise in self-fiction, which had delighted the Orientalists with its exotic love story and its impressive descriptions of Constantinople, is above all a political novel of great narrative modernity, which pleads for the emancipation of Muslim women. Blue fabric spine and corners, carton covers, slight worn. Some foxing inside, otherwise a very good copy.
