Harem (Հարեմ, Arm.) is an Armenian language novella by the great Armenian novelist Raffi,^[1] published in the book Punj (Փունջ, Arm.) in 1874.

The book is set in the royal harem of the prince of Persia the 19th century, probably after the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813). Two of the characters in the book, the Prince and Zeynep, had real-life analogues in Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, and one of his 165 consorts, an Armenian from Tiflis who was given the name Gul-Pirhan.^[2] According to Raffi's biographer, Murad Meneshian, Raffi's adversaries translated Harem to Persian in 1876 and took it to Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, who at the time was the governor of the province where Raffi was living in Tabriz,^[3] when the reaction of Raffi's adversaries caused his exile from Agulis.^[4]
