Description
This book is an attempt at a fantastical mystical reconstruction of events in Carthage in the third century BCE. The novel is filled with astonishing and mysterious rites and rituals of different peoples and tribes, steeped in eroticism and wonderfully described. Flaubert’s words create magic.
The most brutal scenes of war and sacrifice, cannibalism—described vividly, colorfully, with wonderfully expressive, exotic epic imagery. This is a book about war and the destruction that followed the war of the Carthaginian state. It is a book about passion and love, with astonishingly precise descriptions that take on “flesh and blood” already in our imagination. Even smells become tangible.
This is the story of the mystical love between the leader of the Libyan mercenaries, the cruel warrior Mato, and the maiden Salammbô—the daughter of the Carthaginian commander and aristocrat Hamilcar—brought up away from human eyes and knowing nothing of life in society.
