About this Event
Join us for an intimate History Dinner Lecture by historian and culturologist Batyr Aynabekov on one of the most mysterious and controversial phenomena of Eastern civilisations.
What were harems in the Muslim world? By what rules did they operate, and what hierarchy existed within them? How did women enter them, and was life in a household of female slaves always a misfortune?What opportunities were available to the women of Eastern rulers, and how did their influence shape politics and the destinies of entire countries?We will explore these fascinating questions and much more at a unique evening combining fascinating history, fine dining and lively conversation in the elegant private dining room of HIDE restaurant, in the heart of Mayfair.
Hosted by Noble & Curious — London's private intellectual and cultural community.
