I have those flaming pigs in one of my historical armies (unpainted), but I'd never read Flaubert. Added to Xmas list - thanks! I wonder if it's another that's better in the original language? Finding out will be good practice for me.

It's very good in French. (That's where I encountered it, in high school.) I've never read it in English.

I wish I'd read this a month ago, I just ran a siege defense mass battle in my d&d game. That flaming pig image is gorgeous, I would have loved to include that.

Flaubert doesn't happen to include anything that might be useful for a dungeon crawl through sewers towards a Lich's laboratory, does he? :)

Well, there is a stealthy infiltration into a temple complex...

I'm more familiar with the Druillet graphic novel which was also made into a game, reviwed here with glorious screen shots.

The Druillet adaption is aaawwwesome.

Salammbo is also the fictitious opera in Citizen Kane where Kane's second wife, Susan Alexander Kane, is the lead. Bernard Herrmann wrote a majestic aria for it:
