| Summary | "Salambó" by Gustave Flaubert is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set in ancient Carthage, the story revolves around the tumultuous events surrounding the mercenaries who rebel against their leadership, particularly focusing on the characters Salambó, the daughter of the general Amílcar, and Matho, a young prince caught in the turmoil. This richly detailed narrative explores themes of love, power, and conflict against a backdrop of opulent feasts and political strife. At the start of the novel, a grand feast is held in the gardens of Amílcar, where soldiers celebrate a military victory. Diverse troops from various nations gather, indulging in a variety of exotic foods and drinks, all while tensions simmer regarding their treatment and pay by the Republic of Carthage. As the merriment unfolds, the characters' frustrations and potential revolts come into play, highlighting the precarious balance between celebration and unrest. The introduction of Salambó, later as a significant figure in the narrative, shows her deep concern for her people and foreshadows unfolding tragic events tied to her allure and the chaos around her.
