Résumé

Utilizing a rich, descriptive literary style, Ballou immerses readers in the complexities of 19th-century society, highlighting themes of slavery, desire, and the intricate dynamics of the sultan's court. The novel reflects the Orientalist fascination of the period, presenting a vivid tableau of Circassian life while critiquing prevalent power structures, thus providing a dual lens for understanding both individual and sociopolitical dilemmas of its time.
