Gustave Flaubert wrote Salambô (1862) with the firm intention of distancing himself from contemporary life after the success and scandal of Madame Bovary. Set in ancient Carthage, the novel recounts with astonishing detail the adventures of Salambô, daughter of the leader Hamilcar, and her love story with the handsome Matho. The splendor and cruelty of that remote world, the intensity of the battles, and the depth of its characters make this novel one of the greatest historical works ever written.
