At the start of the book, Leary describes the stunning landscape of Lebanon as his ship approaches the shore, providing vivid imagery of the mountains and valleys that characterize the region. He discusses the importance of Lebanon in both biblical history and its cultural significance, outlining the various cities, mountains, and valleys that contribute to its identity.
