Volney is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the author's observations and reflections on the political and social landscape of Egypt and Syria during the late 18th century. The text delves into the figures and systems governing these regions, notably focusing on local leaders such as Dâher, who wielded significant power and influence. The opening of the work introduces Dâher, an Arab chief who commanded Acre from the mid-18th century and describes his rise to power amid political turmoil. Volney details Dâher's background, his ambitious strategies for establishing control over trade routes, and his complex relationships with both Ottoman authorities and local tribes. The narrative captures the essence of Dâher's character, his military exploits, administrative methods, and the socio-economic conditions of the time, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the era's dynamics as the text unfolds.
