Alexander the Great (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
[An] infectious sense of narrative momentum . . Its energy is unflagging, including the verve with which it tackles that teased final mystery about the specific cause of Alexanders death.The Christian Science Monitor
More than two millennia have passed since Alexander the Great built an empire that stretched to every corner of the ancient world, from the backwater kingdom of Macedonia to the Hellenic world, Persia, and ultimately to Indiaall before his untimely death at age thirty-threeAlexander believed that his empire would stop only when he reached the Pacific Ocean. But stories of both real and legendary events from his life have kept him evergreen in our imaginations with a legacy that has meant something different to every era: in the Middle Ages he became an exemplar of knightly chivalry, he was a star of Renaissance paintings, and by the early twentieth century hed even come to resemble an English gentleman.
But who was he in his own time?
In Alexander the Great, Anthony Everitt judges Alexanders life against the criteria of his own age and considers all his contradictions. We meet the Macedonian prince who was naturally inquisitive and fascinated by science and exploration, as well as the man who enjoyed the arts and used Homers great epic the Iliad as a bibleAs his empire grew, Alexander exhibited respect for the traditions of his new subjects and careful judgment in administering rule over his vast territory. But his career also had a dark side. An inveterate conqueror who in his short life built the largest empire up to that point in history, Alexander glorified war and was known to commit acts of remarkable cruelty.
As debate continues about the meaning of his life, Alexander''s death remains a mysteryDid he die of natural causesfelled by a feveror did his marshals, angered by his tyrannical behavior, kill him? An explanation of his death can lie only in what we know of his life, and Everitt ventures to solve that puzzle, offering an ending to Alexanders story that has eluded so many for so long.
