Turpin is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book chronicles the tumultuous history of the Kingdom of Siam, focusing particularly on the revolts and power struggles that shaped its political landscape leading up to 1770. It explores the political dynamics and social conditions under various kings, providing insight into both internal strife and external challenges faced by the empire.  The opening of this work sets the stage for a detailed narrative on Siam's early history and revolutions, emphasizing the role of despotism as a catalyst for conflict within the kingdom. From the very beginning, it establishes a critical tone regarding the oppressive rulers and paves the way for discussions of notable kings and their reigns. The text delves into the governance challenges faced by earlier monarchs, the impact of foreign invasions, and the consistent cycle of tyranny and rebellion, illustrating the precariousness of power and the ever-present potential for change through uprising. The themes presented in this introductory portion lay a foundational understanding of a kingdom in flux, marked by both cultural richness and historical turmoil.
