"In this novel, Carthage is in its death throes as an imperial nation--eternally at war and unable to meet the daily needs of its citizens. They are forced to believe in an ecstatic religious cult that demands the sacrifice of humans."@en . . "Historical fiction"@en . "Historical fiction" . "Audiobooks" . "Audiobooks"@en . . . "Beyond the gardens of Hamilcar's palace, beyond the walls of Carthage, the Roman hordes stood waiting to annihilate the noblest city of ancient Africa. Within the city, all was madness: the houses were filled with the screams of women and the streets teemed with terrified men. The veil of the goddess Tanit, sacred to Carthage, had fallen to Matho, Roman soldier-of-fortune. But when Salambo, the exquisite daughter of Hamilcar, rode into the Roman camp, into Matho's tent, to exchange her beauty for the veil of Carthage--he would throw away victory and forsake his army, his nation, and his soul for the price of her body. Set during the historical struggle between Rome and Carthage, Flaubert's novel offers a portrait of the lives and rites of two ancient kingdoms moved by their allegiances to very different gods."@en . "After losing a war to the Romans, Carthage finds itself in a state of disarray and is unable to pay its mercenary army. As the mercenaries turn their swords toward the city, Salammbo, a priestess and the daughter of a prominent Carthaginian general, attempts to save the city from assured destruction." . "Amor y traición en la antigua Cartago. Mientras las hordas romanas asedian y esperan el momento de invadir Cartago, la sacerdotisa del templo de la diosa Tanit, Salambó, ama y es amada. Ella es la hija de Amilcar, el gran general cartaginés y para recobrar el perdido velo que ha caido en manos del adversario, tiene que entregarse al general enemigo, que por Salambó olvida patria y honor. Alrededor de ese argumento y con el fondo de las guerras púnicas, Flaubert hizo una interesante novela histórica, llena de autenticidad ya que al autor investigó a fondo los antecedentes reales que servirían de telón de fondo a esta apasionante obra literaria." .
