Salambó

Salambó

by Gustave Flaubert

Salambó, hija del poderoso general cartaginés Amílcar, se encuentra en el centro de una historia de amor, guerra y sacrificio. Matho, líder de los mercenarios, queda cautivado por su belleza y la obsesión se apodera de él. Su amor, sin embargo, se ve envuelto en la violencia y el caos que azotan Cartago durante la Guerra de los Mercenarios. El robo del velo sagrado, el zaïmph, símbolo de la diosa Tanit, desencadena una serie de eventos trágicos y convierte la pasión de Matho en un peligroso juego de poder y supervivencia. La novela de Flaubert, llena de detalles históricos y ambientación, explora la brutalidad de la guerra, la profundidad de las creencias religiosas y el fuego de la pasión en una sociedad en conflicto.
