Summary "Havahtuneita: Kuvaus nykyaikaisesta haaremielämästä" by Pierre Loti is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows André Lhéry, a famous writer, as he engages in a complex correspondence with various women, particularly revealing his past connections with Turkish harems and the emotional repercussions of their relationships. This narrative delves into the themes of love, cultural identity, and the constraints of societal expectations particularly within the context of a modern harem. The opening of the book introduces André Lhéry as he reflects on his life while sorting through a pile of letters, primarily from women expressing admiration and longing for him. A letter with a Turkish postmark rekindles his memories of Istanbul, evoking a deep melancholy and a sense of nostalgia for a city he once loved. Concurrently, the narrative shifts to a young woman in a harem who eagerly anticipates the arrival of a letter from André, illustrating her constrained life within the confines of her environment while reflecting on her inner desires for freedom and connection. This juxtaposition of the two main characters sets the stage for exploring their intertwined fates against the backdrop of societal constraints and emotional yearning.
