This book tells the story of the glorious and magnificent life of Hannibal, the famous Carthaginian general and strategist. When he was young, he marched into Spain with his father Hamilcar Barca, and swore a lifetime oath in front of his father to be the enemy of Rome for life. When he grew up, he led the army deep into the hinterland of Rome and dealt a heavy blow to Rome. In the end, he was far away from the rear, trapped in the enemy's territory, and finally returned with a great defeat.
Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of Hannibal's life, and I was deeply touched by his oath and determination. I have worked hard for a love vow just like him. The historical details and wonderful descriptions in the book made me feel as if I had traveled back to that era, and felt the tension and cruelty of the war personally. Just like what the book says "is an enemy of Rome for life", Hannibal's determination is admirable. I believe that everyone can find their own shadow and gain strength and courage from his story.
