Constantinople, Chapter 20: riassunto
Chapter 20 di 30 · 16 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 20, the narrator attends the Beïram through the Sardinian legation and watches Abdul-Medjid travel to prayer before receiving ceremonial homage. The reception displays the court’s wealth and strict hierarchy, while the sultan’s responses to a religious leader and an unwanted petitioner briefly interrupt his otherwise motionless bearing.
Cosa succede
- After Ramadan, bright new clothes fill the streets, and the Sardinian legation enables the narrator to attend the Beïram.
- Before dawn, the narrator crosses Pera, boards the embassy’s caique, and reaches the crowded palace landing.
- He watches the richly dressed imperial procession accompany the sultan to Hagia Sophia and return about an hour afterward.
- Abdul-Medjid sits outside a kiosk, where senior dignitaries kiss his boot while he remains almost entirely motionless.
- The sultan helps the Scheick ul-islam rise but rejects the former sharif of Mecca and two accompanying young men.
- Lower officials kiss the imperial sash, and the narrator returns to Pera for lunch when the reception ends.
