Immerse yourself in the 3rd century BC with 'Hannibal', a historical novel by Gisbert Haefs that narrates the epic struggle of Carthage against the emerging power of Rome. Through the eyes of Antigonus, banker and advisor to the Barca family, the reader witnesses the bloody battles and innovative tactics of Hannibal Barca, one of the greatest generals in history. From crossing the Pyrenees and the Alps to the victories at the Trebia River, Lake Trasimeno, and Cannae, this masterpiece of the historical genre offers a fascinating view of the Punic Wars from the perspective of the vanquished.
