Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the dramatic history of Carthage from the bloody Second Punic War to its fiery demise and its sacred and symbolic rebirth from its own ashes. The author confronts the complex and brutal realities of this ancient civilization through the story of Salammbà , a priestess of Tanit, the Carthaginian goddess of war and fertility. Through her eyes, we witness the decadence, tyranny, and religious fanaticism that characterized the Carthaginian Empire. The book delves deeply into the clashes between civilizations and cultures, the struggles for power and identity, the inevitable tragedy of war, and the complex roles of women in ancient society. Ultimately, the book showcases the enduring power of myth and the phoenix-like ability of civilizations to rise from their own destruction.
