«Las ruinas de Palmira» is the philosophical essay by historian and philosopher Count de Volney, published by Edaf in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Volney contemplates the ruins of Palmyra, the Syrian desert kingdom that dared to face Rome, as a symbol of the fall of empires. From there he examines the origin of societies and the great religions, subjects their dogmas to the tribunal of reason, and denounces the superstitions and interests that have enslaved man.
