Hannibal

In a narrative of breathtaking range and power, Ross Leckie presents not only a vivid re-creation of the great struggle of the Punic wars, but succeeds in bringing the almost mythical figure of Hannibal to life. A tragic chronicle of love and hate, heroism and cruelty, Hannibal is an epic recasting of the life of one of humanity's greatest adventurers, who learns through suffering that man is but a shadow of a dream.
