From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - slightly rubbed and scuffed otherwise perfect condition - Tough, resolute, fearless, a born warrior, lover of Homer, drama and hunting, Alexander was also an impatient man of passionate ambitions, who understood the intense adventure of the unknown. -- When he died at thirty-two, his empire - from Greece to India - comprised two million square miles, and the vacuum he left was never properly filled. He had excelled as a general, he had stamped the face of Greek culture on the ancient East and he had created a myth that is as potent today as it was then. -- Robin Lane Foxs accessible and erudite life of Alexander searches through the mass of conflicting evidence and legend to focus on the living actuality of the man and his experience - It is tempting, he concludes, to see in Alexander the romantics complex nature for the first time in Greek history. Beautifully written, perceptive and fluent, it is a superb example of historical scholarship and psychological insight. -- LIST OF MAPS -- Greece, Macedonia and the Aegean -- Turkey and the approach to the battle of Issus Western Persian Empire 333/330 Alexanders route, September 330/327 -- North-West Frontier 327/326 -- Siege of Pir-Sar -- Route to the Hydaspes.
