Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Hannibal and Katharna: A Drama in Five Acts is a story written for the stage. Written by J.C. Fife-Cookson, the drama tells the story of the Second Punic War from the perspective of Hannibal and the Carthaginians.
Hannibal was a Carthaginian military commander, and remains one of the most revered military leaders in history. He commanded the army of Carthage in their battles against Rome, winning several important skirmishes. Cookson tells a fictional tale of these battles over the course of Hannibal and Katharna. The title character Katharna is Hannibal's principal love interest throughout the story. Over the course of five acts, Hannibal and Katharna grow deeply fond of one another, and are able to celebrate in the major victories of Carthage. The final act takes place during the Battle of Zama, in modern day Tunisia.
Cookson's drama is both a story of military battles and a love story. While the Second Punic War dictates the setting and the overarching narrative, it is the love story that more often occupies the stage. Cookson has meshed the two elements of the story wonderfully and created a play that can be enjoyed by both fans of action and those who enjoy the drama of personal relationships. The story is a success on all levels, and would be a perfectly suitable candidate to be remounted as a play in modern times.
Hannibal and Katharna: A Drama in Five Acts is a classic tale of love and battle. Readers will enjoy the quick pace to the drama and the high stakes of the story, and stage producers will find the snappy dialogue still appealing to the modern audience. J.C. Fife-Cookson's drama is an achievement and one that deserves to be more widely read.
