G.A. Henty's classic work, The Young Carthaginian, tells the story of this struggle and the attempt of Hannibal to conquer Rome, despite the formidable geographical barriers and the corrupt leadership in Carthage, which time-and-again undermined all his efforts. Malchus, the young hero, a cousin of Hannibal, becomes involved in political intrigue and joins Hannibal in Spain, sharing for a time in his adventures. Later, he suffers imprisonment and slavery and then escapes to Gaul, where he finally settles. This story is set around 220 B.C.

Amuba, un príncipe de la nación Rebu, a orillas del mar Caspio, y su auriga Jethro, son llevados a la esclavitud tras perder una batalla contra los egipcios. Se convierten en sirvientes de la casa de Ameres, un sumo sacerdote egipcio, y son bastante felices allí, hasta que el hijo del sacerdote mata accidentalmente al gato sagrado de Bubastes. Los lugareños se levantan furiosos y matan a Ameres, y Jetro y Amuba deben escapar con el hijo y la hija del sumo sacerdote.

In The Cat of Bubastes, G. A. Henty gives his listeners a fascinating picture of one of the greatest of the ancient peoples at the height of their civilization. Chebron, son of the Egyptian high priest Ameres, and Amuba, a Rebu slave in Ameres' household, are companions. Their lives are changed irrevocably when Chebron accidentally kills his sister's cat, an animal sacred to the Egyptians -- an offence punishable by death.
