Book Launch: Hannibal Barca by Adhemar Ahmad

At once a story for children and a cultural corrective, Hannibal Barca, c. 259 CE chronicles the dream-journeys of young Hannibal in vivid illustrations. Ahmad’s fable presents the world with a vision of a possible past, in which Hannibal glides from planet to planet, capturing the essence of each with short, lyrical precision, as on Venus, where “trees with feathers take flight then re-root to perform the next sameness.”
Adhemar Ahmad lives in New York City. He sells books and plays chess on 112th Street and Broadway and is a founder of NYC Chess, an organization devoted to the promotion of chess and chess education. He grew up in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Toronto. He attended Rockland Community College and Fordham University, Rose Hill Campus.
