About the Book

Dans ce roman, Loti l'amoureux d'Istanbul se fait la voix des femmes, les femmes des harems, dans les toutes dernières heures de l'Empire ottoman.
Trois femmes de la haute société entrent en contact avec André Lhéry, un écrivain et diplomate français en poste dans l'ancienne Constantinople. Des échanges complexes, passionnés et violents naissent entre l'auteur et ces femmes encore prisonnières de leurs voiles et d'un mode de vie carcéral. Un livre captivant et troublant.

Et elles lui tendirent des petites mains gantées de blanc. Elles parlaient du reste français avec des voix très douces et une aisance parfaite, ces deux nouvelles ombres.
- Nos amies nous ont annoncé, dit l'une, que vous alliez écrire un livre en faveur de la musulmane du XXe siècle, et nous avons voulu vous en remercier.
- Comment cela s'appellera-t-il ? demanda l'autre, en s'asseyant avec une grâce languissante sur l'humble divan décoloré.
- Mon Dieu, je n'y ai pas songé encore. C'est un projet si récent, et pour lequel on m'a un peu forcé la main, je l'avoue... Nous allons mettre le titre au concours, si vous voulez bien... Voyons !... Moi, je proposerais: Les Désenchantées.
- Les Désenchantées, répéta Djénane avec lenteur. On est désenchanté de la vie quand on a vécu; mais nous au contraire qui ne demanderions qu'à vivre !... Ce n'est pas désenchantées, que nous sommes, c'est annihilées, séquestrées, étouffées...

Pierre Loti, de son véritable nom Julien Viaud, s'inscrit dans la lignée des grands écrivains aventuriers et globe-trotteurs. Sa propre vie est digne d'une oeuvre romanesque et invite à l'évasion. Officier de marine, il sillonne le monde sur différents vaisseaux: Îles de Pâques, Afrique occidentale, Asie, Orient. En Turquie, il tombe follement amoureux de Hatice, une belle circassienne appartenant pourtant au harem d'un haut dignitaire turc. Un amour qui hantera plusieurs de ses romans.
