These brave warriors, driven by the frustration of delayed pay, took up arms against their former allies. Two fierce barbarian clan chiefs, Matho and Narr Havas, were captivated by the enchanting and ethereal Salammbo, the daughter of Hamilcar of Carthage. This love affair ignited a bloody conflict that engulfed the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing inspiration from the 19th-century novel by Flaubert, Salammbo was reimagined and recontextualized by the visionary mind of Philippe Druillet. Druillet transported the ancient Punic Wars into his captivating space fantasy universe, intertwining the identity of the novel's Matho with his beloved character, Lone Sloane. With a mastery of psychedelic storytelling, Druillet breathed new life into this literary classic, revitalizing it from within with his own transcendent narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1122g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245 x 323 x 17 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781785866647                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gustave Flaubert","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105375449338,"sku":"9781785866647","price":25.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/salammbo","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
