LESUEUR-CHALMET Véronique
FEMMES ET CRIMINELLES. Des soeurs Papin à Simone Weber, une histoire sanglante des faits divers.
Le Pré Aux Clerc Paris 2002 In-8 carré ( 225 X 170 mm ) de 144 pages, broché sous couverture illustrée en couleurs. Illustrations photographiques dans et hors-texte. Edition originale. Très bel exemplaire.Femmes criminelles? L'association des deux mots choque. Et pourtant celles qui donnent la vie peuvent aussi donner la mort, avec une froideur, une détermination souvent effrayantes. Véronique Lesueur-Chalmet évoque ici l'itinéraire psychologique et le parcours humain, souvent terrible, de quelques-unes de ces criminelles qui firent la "une" de l'actualité. Ainsi les sueurs Papin, Léa et Christine, deux "bonnes" apparemment sans histoire, qui exécutèrent sauvagement leur patronne et sa fille dans les années trente, plongeant la France entière dans la stupeur. Ainsi Violette Morris, championne sportive qui se mua en espionne du Reich avant de devenir l'une des plus terribles auxiliaires de la Gestapo. Ainsi Pauline Dubuisson, meurtrière par dépit amoureux, ou Sylvie Paul, qui emmura son amante Jeanne Perron. Toutes ces femmes firent couler des fleuves d'encre et déchaînèrent les passions, du début du siècle dernier à nos jours. Ce livre, illustré de photos d'époque, s'attache à reconstituer leur parcours et à explorer les zones d'ombre qui, souvent, expliquent le dramatique basculement de leur existence.

LEYLA SAZ.
The Imperial Harem of the Sultans. Daily life at the Çiragan Palace during the 19th century: Memoirs of Leyla (Saz) Hanimefendi. Translated from the French by Landon Thomas.
Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In English. 222 p. B/w ills. 'The Ottomans developed a highly organized society with many traditions. However, the writing and publicising of 'memoirs' was not one of them. Even the most illustrious Grand Vizier did not avail his personal diary to others for perusal (even if he ever did put them in black on white). This is what makes Leya (Saz) Hanimefendi's book rather unique. She was taken into the 'Harem' of Sultan Abdulmecid at the age of four and lefty Çiragan palace only to be married. She is the only woman who wrote (or rather dictated to her son) her actual experiences of life at the Çiragan Palace where Sultan Abdulmecid reigned. Her references to many incidents, from the utensils used to the Ladies' Orchestra make this book interesting both to the layman and to the historian. Her great sense of propriety and admiration for the way of life she enjoyed at the palace (despite the vigorous discipline) is another factor that makes reading these memoirs a jotfull experience'.

LEYLÂ HANIM [HANOUM], (Turkish / Ottoman poetess), (?-1847).
[OTTOMAN POETESS IN LITOGRAPH] Divân-i Leylâ Hanim. [i.e. The poems of Leylâ Hanim].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. with marbled boards and brown cloth spine. Fading on spine and foxing on boards and pages. Overall a good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 118 p. Lithographed. Early edition of this rare poem collection by Leyla Hanim (?-1847), who was a few female poets in the Ottoman literature, known for her lyrical love poems. Divan literature is described as "a certain tradition literature with its rules and boundaries" in the most general form. These rules and boundaries have enabled the formation of common expressions in religion and in Sufi intellection in particular and in poetry by the influence of Persian literature, and they have made it traditional in time. In this context, in classical Turkish poetry, whose male poets are predominant in quality and quantity, patriarchal rhetoric presents an outlook that its frame has been established by common tropes, metaphors, poetic themes, and in short by similar imaginations and ideas. The divans of Lady Mihri (died after 1512), Lady Leyla (died in 1848), and Lady Seref (1809-1861) have different aesthetic understandings in that context. Leylâ Hanim was one of the few Turkish female poets who made a collection of her poems. Lived in Istanbul and died in 1848. Her family was close to the Ottoman Sultanate and Leylâ Hanim, witnessing the reign of Sultan Mahmud II (1808-1839) and Sultan Abdülmecid I (1839-1861). She is the daughter of Moralizâde Hâmid Efendi. Her mother Hadîce Hanim is the sister of Keçecizâde Izzet Molla, a notable bureaucrat, and poet of the times. She has three brothers, Atâullah Mehmed Efendi, Nurullah Mehmed Efendi and Hâlid Efendi, who died at a young age. She had financial problems after her father's death and she expressed those in her poems. Some of her poems in the divan mention that her father and brother Hâlid Efendi have lived in Bursa for a while. She is educated by Keçecizâde Izzet Molla, she is quick-witted. She experienced a short marriage, which lasted about a week; after the divorce, she devoted herself to poetry. Her grave is in Galata Mevlevîhanesi. Several books include information of her life, characteristics, and poetry such as Fatin Tezkiresi (363), Ahmet Rif'at's Lugat-i Târîhiyye ve Cogrâfiyye (154), Tuhfe-i Nâ'ilî (895), Sicill-i Osmânî (93), Bursali Mehmet Tahir's Osmanli Müellifleri (406), et alli. These resources indicate that Leylâ Hanim is from a noble family and the links of the family to the high cadres of Ottoman bureaucracy and their intellectual property have left traces in her poetry. AH 1299 = AD 1882. (Source: All poetry). OCLC 949496080.; Özege 4177 / 4. First two editions were printed in Cairo.

Some of her poems in the divan mention that her father and brother Hâlid Efendi have lived in Bursa for a while. She is educated by Keçecizâde Izzet Molla, she is quick-witted. She experienced a short marriage, which lasted about a week; after the divorce she devoted herself to poetry. Her grave is in Galata Mevlevîhanesi. Following books include information of her life, characteristics and poetry: Fatin Tezkiresi (363), Ahmet Rif'at's Lugat-i Târîhiyye ve Cogrâfiyye (154), Tuhfe-i Nâ'ilî (895), Sicill-i Osmânî (93), Bursali Mehmet Tahir's Osmanli Müellifleri (406), Haci Begzâde Ahmet Muhtar's Sâir Hanimlarimiz (51-2), Mehmed Zihnî Efendi's Mesâhir'ün-Nisâ (195), and Semseddin Sâmî's Kâmusü'l-A'lâm (4060). These resources indicate that Leylâ Hanim is from a noble family and the links of the family to the high cadres of Ottoman bureaucracy and their intellectual property have left traces in her poetry.
