Salammbo is the daughter of a Carthaginian general and statesman,
who becomes the object of desire of the warrior leader who has
invaded her home. After a precious veil is stolen from the city's
holy temple, Salammbo is determined to bring it back. Following the
First Punic War, Carthage is unable to compensate its army of hired
mercenaries. This angers the men causing them to revolt and attack
the city. One of their leaders, Matho, has fallen in love with
Salammbo, a priestess and daughter of the Carthaginian general.
When Salammbo discovers the mercenaries have stolen a sacred veil,
she goes to retrieve it. Yet, legend warns whoever touches the
veil-regardless of intent-is doomed to die. Salammbo is a
historical epic that depicts the internal and external tragedy of
war. It explores both sides of a conflict that leads to the same
startling conclusion. Flaubert delivers a vivid characterization of
corruption, politics, lust and obsession. With an eye-catching new
cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Salammbo is both modern and readable.
