After completing the famous Mme Bovary, Flaubert put all his efforts into researching the Punic Wars and completed the lesser known SalammbÃ'. In this volume, Flaubert describes in detail the Mercenary Revolt and the fight of the Mercenaries against the all-powerful Carthage, the theft of the magical Zaimph and the love and hate between the Carthaginian princess SalammbÃ' and the fiercest leader of the Mercenaries, Matho.
