History Museum Series 0 17 Alexandria, Macedonia
Follow Alexander's footsteps and face the inner world of this great conqueror?
Editor's recommendation
Just the name Alexander can arouse endless imagination, but it is a name we are too familiar with, but in fact we know very little. He humiliated young Caesar and inspired a series of great conquerors, from Muhammad Ⅱ to Napoleon. He brought Greek culture to the East and established a series of cities named Alexandria from Egypt to Afghanistan.
There are legends about him everywhere from Arabia to India. Then who is Alexander? Is he the product of pure genius or the creation of environment? This book will take us back to Macedonia more than 2000 years ago, starting with the origin of everything. Let's follow in the footsteps of this great conqueror and embark on a trip to Samarkand to find the ocean on the edge of the world.

? media comments
"A lively and readable biography ... in these passionate narratives, this history is vivid ... Green stripped off all kinds of romantic legends and exposed the essence of this Orwellian tyrant. In his narrative, Alexander pursues power endlessly, which eventually leads him to be divorced from reality.
-Publishers Weekly
When you read peter green's fascinating biography of Alexander ... you will feel that every mysterious line of this fairy tale has been uncovered ... Green took an extremely bold revisionist stance and opposed the vanity and imperial boasting of the ancient world.
