Summary "Hannibal's Daughter" by Lieut. Col. Andrew Haggard, D.S.O. is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the dramatic and violent events surrounding the Carthaginian General Hamilcar Barca, his fierce opposition to the Romans, and the legacy he instills in his son, Hannibal. Central to the narrative is young Hannibal, who is introduced in the midst of familial conflict and the harsh realities of warfare, setting the stage for his eventual rise and the conflicts that will define his life. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of ancient Carthage and introduces Hamilcar Barca as he reflects on his past conquests and future aspirations for vengeance against Rome. Through a blend of personal introspection and historical context, the narrative showcases Hamilcar's pride, anger, and determination, especially as he encourages young Hannibal to embrace his heritage and foster a hatred for their enemies. This father-son dynamic is further enriched as Hannibal vows to carry out their family legacy of military prowess. The detailed descriptions of the surroundings, coupled with the familial teachings, provide a rich backdrop for the unfolding tale of love, ambition, and warfare against a historical setting, ultimately suggesting a deeper exploration of themes such as loyalty, vengeance, and the burdens of legacy.
