This work recounts the author’s extensive journey in an "almost unknown" land, shedding light on the society, customs, and events he encountered during his twelve years in Ethiopia. The book aims to provide a rich depiction of this region that retains a mysterious allure for European readers. At the start of the narrative, d'Abbadie details the preparations for his journey, highlighting the significance of his aim to understand the culture and characteristics of the Ethiopian people. He introduces himself and his companions: his brother, a Piedmontese priest, an Englishman, and two servants, one Basque and the other Egyptian. As they depart from Kéneh in Egypt, they embark on a challenging adventure through the harsh desert, filled with peril and uncertainty. The beginning sets the stage for a tale of exploration that promises both personal and cultural discovery, hinting at the trials they will face as they navigate the complex dynamics of the region’s society and their own ambitions.
