Summary of Aissa Sh
Charlotte Aissé (circa 1693, Circassia – March 13, 1733, Paris) is a French writer, known primarily for her correspondence, published under the title “Letters to Mrs. Calandrini” (Lettres de mademoiselle Aissé a madame Calandrini).
The origin is not entirely reliable: she called herself the daughter of the Circassian (probably Adyghe) prince, whose palace was plundered by the Turks, who kidnapped her and sold her into slavery. In 1698, at the age of four or five, she was bought from an Istanbul slave-merchant by the French envoy to the Ottoman Empire, de Ferriol, and taken to France. There, the girl received a magnificent education in the house of his younger brother’s wife. The original name of Circassian Haide (Haidé, perhaps the Turkish perception of the name Ayshet) was changed to a more euphonious one – Aissa, which in fact became her surname; at baptism received the name of Charlotte-Elizabeth.
From her youth, Aissa revolved in high
Aysse’s letters to Mrs. Calandrini contain a lot of interesting information about the life of the French aristocracy of the Regency period, written in an elegant and at the same time simple syllable, marked by an uncompromising moral position, sincerity and frankness. The first edition (in 1787) was prepared by Voltaire; a commentary appeared in 1846. In 1985, the letters were translated into Russian and published in the series “Literary Monuments.”
