There is more to Hannibal than elephants and the Alps. The struggle between Rome and Carthage was at first a struggle for empire, and afterwards for existence on the part of Carthage. Hannibal defeated the Romans at Trebia, Lake Trasimenus, and Cannae, and all but took Rome. Malchus, Hannibal's cousin, witnesses the political corruption which typifyed Carthage in its decline. As political parties fight among themeselves for supremacy, young malchus begins to question the usefulness of fighting for a debased civil government. Mr. Henty's classic work, The Young Carthaginian, will expose readers to the manners, customs, religion, and politics of Cathage and Rome. Within the pases of The Young Carthaginian the importance of Italian geography come alive and leaves one breathless at Hannibal's feats in overcoming these barriers.
