AbstractThis study explores the ways in which the seraglio is shown in narrative fiction from the Great Century. In spite of the restrictions imposed upon those who inhabit this place, the imaginary world of fiction transforms the walled precincts of Ottoman or Berber palaces into a voluptuous world dominated by love affairs. A delight for the eye as well as for all the other senses, the women's chambers give visual reality to an opulence of the most lavish sort and reflect familiar scenes for the reader of the period, accustomed to monumental displays of wealth and ornamentation. Outwitting the vigilance of the eunuchs, the sultans never fail to find, whether it be in the gardens or in the many corridors of the palace, ways to escape the confinement of the harem and its iniquitous laws.

Children's stories are an unsuspected presence in the jurisprudence, but as a listing list shows they must be appreciated by judges. This is hardly surprising, since they target the same objectives as a legal adage. Stories, like adages, enliven the debate, provide a moving, guiding and dynamic commentary, and spark legal reflection. As essential and timeless lessons, stories and adages share several similarities in terms of both substance (with their reflective, argumentative or aesthetic functions) and form (remote, and sometimes uncertain origin, and formulaic presentation). Although they share common goals, stories are more polyvalent (narrative structure, description of factual situations, assessment of credibility, popularization of legal knowledge, etc.) ; they offer a rhetorical tool that courtroom lawyers should learn to use—and above all be aware of. Should training for lawyers include a re-evaluation of children's stories ?
