Alexander the Great
Robin Lane Fox
Synopsis "Alexander the Great"
Tough, resolute, fearless. Alexander was a born warrior and a ruler of passionate ambition who understood the intense adventure of conquest and of the unknown. When he died in 323 B.C.E. at age thirty-two, his vast empire comprised more than two million square miles, spanning from Greece to India. His achievements were unparalleled—he had excelled as leader to his men, founded eighteen new cities, and stamped the face of Greek culture on the ancient East. the myth he created is as potent today as it was in the ancient world.Robin Lane Fox's superb account searches through the mass of conflicting evidence and legend to focus on Alexander as a man of his own time. Combining historical scholarship and acute psychological insight, it brings this colossal figure vividly to life.
(Eton, 1946) es miembro del New College de Oxford, universidad en la que obtuvo el doctorado en Historia Antigua. Ha sido también corresponsal del Financial Times durante más de treinta años. Desde su publicación en 1973, Alejandro Magno (que ha recibido los Premios Duff Cooper Memorial, James Tait Black Memorial y W.H. Heinemann) se ha convertido en un auténtico libro de referencia. Como parte de la investigación que condujo a la escritura de Alejandro Magno, viajó durante años entre Grecia y la India, buscando huellas del conquistador de Asia.
