Description

Hannibal is an epic vision of one of history's greatest adventurers. This unforgettable re-creation of the Punic wars brings to life the Carthaginian general who led his soldiers on elephants over the Alps, driven by all-consuming ambition. Through profoundly bloody battles against the great Roman armies, Hannibal's story unfolds as a chronicle of love and hate, heroism and cruelty. A battle is like lust - the frenzy passes, but consequence remains. In this breathtaking narrative, one of humanity's greatest adventurers learns through suffering that man is but a shadow of a dream. The result is a gripping tale of war, leadership, and the human condition. With 243 pages, this paperback edition offers a compelling insight into the life and times of Hannibal, a figure who has captivated historians and readers alike for centuries.
