Hannibal by David Anthony Durham
In ancient Rome, parents used to silence misbehaving children with the utterance 'Hannibal ad portas' (Hannibal is at the door).
'An extraordinary achievement: Durham puts flesh on the bones of Carthage in a way that no novelist has done since Flaubert wrote Salammbô' * TOM HOLLAND, author of Rubicon *
'Wonderful..an historical novel that's not only deeply evocative of time and place, character and situation, but is also lyrically written, compellingly composed...a masterpiece' * JEFFREY LENT, author of Lost Nation *
'Heady, richly textured...Durham weaves abundant psyhcological, military and political detail in this vivid account of one of the most romanticized periods of history' * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (Starred Review) *
'Magnificent...an old-fashioned historical yarn, it could hardly be bettered' * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
'Durham vividly captures the frenzy of ancient warfare...Pride of Carthage is a skillfully structured and often gripping novel' -- NEW YORK TIMES
