Renowned for its lush, evocative prose and meticulous attention to detail, the novel immerses the reader in a world rich with sensory experiences and vivid images. The narrative intricately weaves themes of love, power, and conflict, showcasing Flaubert's stylistic hallmark of precision and restraint. The book also serves as a reflection of Flaubert's engagement with historical realism, as he draws from sources like Polybius and Appian to reconstruct the tumultuous events and culture of ancient civilizations, creating a captivating backdrop for his characters' dramatic fates.
