AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb illustrated and numbered edition of this historical novel devoted to the Mercenary War and the captivating figure of Salammbô - Superb first state of the engravings at the end of the book -
Flaubert's text, marked by its archaeological focus and sumptuous style, unfolds a fresco of ancient Carthage, blending exoticism, cruelty and sensuality, and questions the romantic fascination with the Orient and vanished civilizations.
The engravings, often in color, accentuate the contrast between the violence of the battles and the beauty of the scenery, offering the reader a complete aesthetic experience.
This volume illustrates the encounter between Flaubert's erudite novel and the art of the illustrated book, placing Salammbô within the heritage of great prestigious editions, where text and image combine to exalt the narrative power and artistic value of the work.
