Tag: Gustave Flaubert

My own writing centers on Carthage in an alternate history where Dido survives and Aeneas never makes it to Italy. So fictional retellings of Rome and Carthage are of interest to me. My father recently sent me this link about Gustave Flaubert’s (of Madame Bovary fame) own dive into a fictional ancient Carthage with Salammbō (and you can download an ebook of it from there). Who knew? It’s now on my to-read list.
