"Les hommes de la guerre d'Orient 11: Le prince du Montenegro" by Edmond Texier is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, during a period marked by significant political upheaval and national identities forming in Southeast Europe. The book delves into the intertwined history of Montenegro as an independent state and its leaders, focusing particularly on Prince Danilo and the cultural and social dynamics of the Montenegrin people, especially in their struggles against Ottoman rule. The narrative captures the essence of Montenegrin society, where war is viewed as the noblest pursuit, especially against the Turks, whom they consider infidels. Texier highlights their deep-seated nationalism and unique cultural traits, portraying the Montenegrins as fiercely proud and religiously devoted. Through vivid descriptions, he narrates the traditional practices, familial structures, and the significance of the vladika (bishop) in both civil and spiritual leadership. The account also touches upon the tumultuous relations between Montenegro and the surrounding empires, revealing the complexity of Montenegrin identity forged through centuries of conflict and resilience.
