Salammbo is a historical novel written by Gustave Flaubert and published in 1885. The story is set in ancient Carthage during the Mercenary War, a conflict between Carthage and its mercenaries, who were hired to fight for Carthage but were not paid. The novel follows the character of Salammbo, a priestess of the goddess Tanit, who becomes involved in the conflict when she falls in love with Matho, the leader of the mercenaries. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of ancient Carthage and its culture, as well as its exploration of themes such as love, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. Flaubert's writing style is characterized by its attention to detail and its use of rich, poetic language. Salammbo is considered one of Flaubert's masterpieces and a classic of French literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
