Résumé
"Salammbo" by Gustave Flaubert is a historical novel set in ancient Carthage, focusing on the tumultuous period following the First Punic War. The narrative begins with a grand feast in the gardens of Hamilcar, where mercenaries celebrate their past victories. However, tensions simmer beneath the surface as the mercenaries feel betrayed by Carthage, which is unable to pay them for their services. The story follows Matho, a Libyan warrior, who becomes infatuated with Salammbo, the daughter of Hamilcar. His obsession with her symbolizes the larger conflict between the mercenaries and the Carthaginian state. As the mercenaries leave Carthage, they are filled with a mix of hope and resentment, believing they will soon return to their homes with their due rewards. However, their journey is fraught with challenges, including the harsh landscape and internal strife. Matho's internal struggle is mirrored by the external chaos as the mercenaries grapple with their uncertain future. The novel explores themes of power, betrayal, and the clash of cultures, as well as the personal turmoil of its characters. Flaubert's rich descriptions and historical detail bring to life the ancient world, while the characters' passions and conflicts resonate with timeless human experiences.
