Kösem Sultan #2

Kösem Sultan - Cilt 2

Rate this book
Okur, Kösem Sultan'ın ilk cildinde, Osmanlı toplumunun yaşam tarzını, kültür iklimini, devlet ve saray hayatını, o saray hayatının içinde bambaşka bir dünya oluşturan haremi ve bütün bunların içinde pek çok özelliğiyle biricik bir kadın olan Kösem Sultan'ı tanımıştı.

Bu ciltte ise, artık "validei muazzama", "validei atika", "validei kebire", "ümmülmüminin", "sahibetülmakam" gibi sıfatlarla anılır hale gelen Kösem Sultan'ın IV. Murad dönemindeki "saltanat" yılları anlatılır. İkinci cildiyle tamamlanan kitap sayesinde okur, hiç şüphesiz "tarihsel" Kösem Sultan'ı değil, Reşad Ekrem Koçu'nun Kösem Sultan'ını okumuş olur.
