Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's journey as an envoy dispatched to gain a foothold in Abyssinia for the French. The author's mission included strategic reconnaissance of the coast and establishing relations with the sovereign of Abyssinia. At the heart of their intentions was the desire for political and religious influence. The book describes the complex political landscape the author encountered, including the influence of English, Egyptian, and Turkish forces in the region. The author's narrative delves into the cultural and geographical context of Abyssinia, providing insight into a region that has been historically isolated and shrouded in mystery. As a result of the author's efforts, a treaty was established, ceding the French possession of Zulla and the island of Disseh, a strategic concession that could have given France a strong foothold in the region had it been acted upon.
