Paperback. Zustand: Good. If history is written by the victors, can we really know Hannibal, whose portrait we see through the eyes of his Roman conquerors?"Eve MacDonald has produced a real page-turner in this lucid account of Hannibal, the Carthaginian general whose invasion of Italy brought republican Rome almost to her knees. "?Antony Spawforth, author of The Story of Greece and Rome and co-author ofThe Oxford Classical Dictionary Hannibal lived a life of incredible feats of daring and survival, massive military engagements, and ultimate defeat. A citizen of Carthage and military commander in Punic Spain, he famously marched his war elephants and huge army over the Alps into Rome?s own heartland to fight the Second Punic War. Yet the Romans were the ultimate victors. They eventually captured and destroyed Carthage, and thus it was they who wrote the legend of Hannibal: a brilliant and worthy enemy whose defeat represented military glory for Rome.   In this groundbreaking biography Eve MacDonald expands the memory of Hannibal beyond his military feats and tactics. She considers him in the wider context of the society and vibrant culture of Carthage which shaped him and his family, employing archaeological findings and documentary sources not only from Rome but also the wider Mediterranean world of the third century B.C. MacDonald also analyzes Hannibal?s legend over the millennia, exploring how statuary, Jacobean tragedy, opera, nineteenth-century fiction, and other depictions illuminate the character of one of the most fascinating military personalities in all of history.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'This is not only history reclaimed, this is history at its best!' Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians: the Age of the Great Kings'A bravura re-telling' Daily MailCarthage was a power that dominated the western Mediterranean for almost six centuries before its fall to Rome. The history of the realm and its Carthaginians was subsumed by their conquerors and, along the way, the story of the real Carthage was lost. An ancient North African kingdom, Carthage was the home of Hannibal and of Dido, of war elephants and enormous power and wealth, of great beauty and total destruction.In this landmark new history, Eve MacDonald tells the essential story of the lost culture of Carthage and of its forgotten people, using brand new archaeological analysis to uncover the history behind the legend. A journey that takes us the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the coast of Africa, Carthage puts the city and the story of North Africa once again at the centre of Mediterranean history. Reclaimed from the Romans, this is the Carthaginian version of the tale, revealing to us that, without Carthage, there would be no Rome. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La épica historia de uno de los imperios más ricos y poderosos de la Antigüedad. La historia de Cartago suele contarse desde la mirada de quienes la destruyeron. Pero durante casi seiscientos años, esta poderosa ciudad del norte de África fue una de las civilizaciones más ricas, influyentes y temidas del Mediterráneo occidental. Hogar de figuras legendarias como Aníbal y Dido, de imponentes elefantes de guerra, de creaciones artísticas de enorme belleza y de una fuerza militar capaz de rivalizar con cualquier potencia, Cartago fue mucho más que la sombra proyectada por Roma sobre su memoria. En este libro apasionante, la doctora Eve MacDonald reconstruye la cultura perdida de Cartago y la vida de su pueblo. Gracias a nuevos hallazgos arqueológicos y a una lectura crítica de las fuentes, MacDonald rescata del silencio la historia real tras la leyenda: un viaje que se inicia en el Levante fenicio de los inicios de la Edad de Hierro y que se despliega a lo largo de toda la costa africana hasta el Atlántico. Su narración devuelve a Cartago el lugar que le corresponde en la historia mediterránea y muestra cómo su influencia fue decisiva para el mundo antiguo. Recuperada de los romanos, esta es la versión cartaginesa del relato. Una historia que revela una verdad incómoda: sin Cartago, nunca habría existido Roma. La crítica ha dicho. . . «Una reinterpretación brillante». Daily Mail «Fascinante. . . MacDonald escribe con claridad y franqueza, y ha producido una introducción divertida y fácilmente digerible de Cartago». Telegraph «¡Esto no es solo historia recuperada, es historia en su máxima expresión!». Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones «El análisis más exhaustivo posible de la sociedad, la política y el gobierno cartagineses. Más de dos milenios después de su destrucción, Cartago ahora tiene su Ilíada ». Martyn Rady «El nuevo e importante libro de Eve MacDonald pone a Cartago, por fin, en el centro de su propia historia».
