Στα χαρέμια των Σουλτάνων

Mε αφορμή την πρεμιέρα του έργου του Μότσαρτ «Απαγωγή από 

το Σεράϊ» στο Γκλιντεμπορν Opera του Σάσεξ, η Daily Mail, μας 

κάνει μία ξενάγηση στην πραγματική ιστορία πίσω από το έργο, 

παρουσιάζοντας πώς πραγματικά ήταν τα χαρέμια στην εποχή

 των σουλτάνων.

Οπως εξηγεί στο άρθρο, ο Σουλτάνος, δεν είχε παρά να κοιτάξει έντονα μία κοπέλα,

 ή να της κάνει σχόλιο θαυμασμού και κέρδιζε το προσωνύμιο «guzdheh» που

 σήμαινε ότι ο σουλτάνος την έχει «βάλει στο μάτι».

Αμέσως η κοπέλα μεταφερόταν σε δικό της διαμέρισμα με ένα στρατό υπηρετών.

 Ο Φύλακας των Λουτρών την έβαζε να κάνει μασάζ με αρωματικά έλαια ενώ τα 

μαλλιά της λούζονταν με νερό από ασημένια κανάτια και δένονταν με μαργαριτάρια.

 Το σώμα της θα έπρεπε να είναι ξυρισμένο και βαμμένα τα νύχια της. Στη συνέχεια

 περνούσε στους θαλάμους ένδυσης ώστε να τη στολίσουν με μετάξια και κοσμήματα.

Μόλις ολοκληρωνόταν η περιποίηση, την οδηγούσαν στην κρεβατοκάμαρα του

 Σουλτάνου συνοδευόμενη από έναν ευνούχο του παλατιού, ο οποίος την

 τοποθετούσε στα κατωπόδαρα του κρεβατιού.

Το κρεβάτι του σουλτάνου ήταν ένα παλάτι σε μικρογραφία και έμοιαζε με απομίμηση

 ρωμαϊκού ναού με κίονες από πτυχωτό ασήμι. Κρυστάλλινα λιοντάρια πλαισίωναν 

τις γωνίες και τα παραπετάσματα ήταν χρυσά μπροκάρ. Ενα φανάρι από ασήμι με

 χρυσή επίστρωση και ρουμπίνια κρεμόταν από το ταβάνι και δίπλα στο κρεβάτι του

 Σουλτάνου ήταν το τόξο και τα βέλη του.

Τα μυστικά του χαρεμιού συναρπάζουν τους Δυτικούς επισκέπτες στην

 Κωνσταντινούπολη, εδώ και αιώνες, με τα περιφραγμένα παλάτια με μυστικούς

 διαδρόμους, το σπίτι σε 370 γυναίκες - 12 συζύγους, παλλακίδες και παρθένες -

 και 127 ευνούχους.

  

Το μεγαλύτερο χαρέμι ήταν το παλάτι Τοπ Καπί στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, όπου για 

εκατοντάδες χρόνια οι γυναίκες,οι παλλακίδες και οι ευνούχοι ζούσαν σε εξαιρετική

 λαμπρότητα και απόλυτη απομόνωση από τον έξω κόσμο.

Περισσότερα από 300 δωμάτια οδηγούσαν σε 44 αυλές. Υπήρχαν λουτρά, ένα τζαμί,

 κήποι, σιντριβάνια, υδραγωγεία, πτηνοτροφεία, ακόμη και μια βάρκα στη λίμνη 

από την οποία ο Σουλτάνος μπορούσε να πετάξει τον γελωτοποιό στο νερό για

 να διασκεδάσει.

Οσο για το φαγητό, υπήρχαν 10 κουζίνες που εξυπηρετούσαν το χαρέμι με εκλεκτές 

λιχουδιές: δαμάσκηνα από την Αίγυπτο, μέλια από τη Ρουμανία και την Ουγγαρία,

 δροσερά σορμπέ, λάδι από την Ελλάδα, περιστέρια και φραγκόκοτες και πεπόνια 

από τον Όλυμπο. Τα τουρκικά επιδόρπια ήταν αρωματισμένα με μούρα, λευκά

 σταφύλια, βερίκοκα και ροδόνερο.

Το χαρέμι ήταν πλούσιο, αλλά αυτό δεν αναιρούσε το γεγονός ότι ήταν μια φυλακή.

 Κάθε παράθυρο πάνω από το Βόσπορο - το στενό που χώριζε την Ευρώπη και την

 Ασία- έκλεινε με σιδερένια κάγκελα και μία φρουρά 50 ανδρών στεκόταν στις

 κύριες πύλες, ενώ τη νύχτα ο αριθμός τους διπλασιαζόταν από γενίτσαρους και μία

 μονάδα πεζικού οπλισμένη με γιαταγάνια. Μέσα στο παλάτι, οι γυναίκες ήταν κάτω 

από την επιτήρηση των ευνούχων.

Ακόμα κι εκεί όμως υπήρχε μία ιεραρχία: Οι λευκοί ευνούχοι από τη Γεωργία, την

 Ουγγαρία και την Κροατία ήταν επιφορτισμένοι με διοικητικά και γραμματειακά 

καθήκοντα, ενώ οι έγχρωμοι από την Αβησσυνία και το Σουδάν έκαναν χειρωνακτικές

 εργασίες. Ολοι τους ωστόσο ήταν σκλάβοι που είχαν ευνουχιστεί κατά την

 εισαγωγή τους στο παλάτι, ενώ οι γιατροί του σουλτάνου τους εξέταζαν

 κάθε τόσο για να βεβαιωθούν ότι δεν είχε ξαναβγεί κάτι που δεν έπρεπε.

Cilla lands number one album day after funeral

Cilla Black has landed her first ever number one album, with her Very Best Of compilation, just a day after her funeral. 

She beat both singer songwriter James Bay and the Welsh Heavy Metal band Bullet for My Valentine to claim the top spot in the UK album chart.

Black died after a fall at the age of 72 earlier this month.

She first graced the albums chart 50 years ago when she made number five with the eponymously titled Cilla.

A year later she went one place higher with Cilla Sings a Rainbow, which was her best chart showing until today. That week in 1966 the album chart was topped by The Rolling Stones' Aftermath.

Her funeral in Liverpool was a star-studded affair, featuring a song from Sir Cliff Richard and entertainer Paul O'Grady delivering a touching speech about his close friend.

Black's The Very Best Of... was originally released in 2013 to tie in with an ITV programme hosted by O'Grady to celebrate her 50 years in showbusiness, and reached number 37.

It re-entered the charts last September, peaking at number 26, following the broadcast of ITV's biographical drama of her life, with Sheridan Smith playing the part of Cilla. 

By topping the charts this week, Black toppled Dr Dre's Compton off the number one spot.

It is the first time an album has topped the UK chart in the immediate aftermath of a singer's death since Amy Winehouse's Back to Black in 2011.

In the singles chart Jess Glynn's Don't Be So Hard On Yourself entered at number one, knocking Charlie Puth's Marvin Gaye track to number two.
