«La Grande Sultane» is the novel by Barbara Chase-Riboud, published by Albin Michel in 1987 (358 pages, in French).
The title alludes to the rank of a sultana and the cover, with an oriental lady playing a stringed instrument and another reclining female figure, evokes the courtly atmosphere of the story. The work is set in a distant time and place and combines the tension of palace life with the feelings of its characters.
The edition is associated with the collection «Romans, Nouvelles, Récits (Domaine étranger)» from Albin Michel, and the cover presents it as «roman» and cites the author's previous work, «La Virginienne».
For readers of historical novels with an oriental atmosphere and for those interested in French editions from the 1980s.
Barbara Chase-Riboud is an American and French visual artist, sculptor, novelist, and poet.
