Alexander the Great the Conqueror - Giampaolo Casati, Pekka Tuomisto
The greatest warlord in history and his incredible life
Some rulers in history have gone from being people to concepts. Later rulers have been compared to them, for better or worse – and one of those comparisons is to call someone “the new Alexander the Great.”
In 336 BC, Alexander ascended the throne of Macedonia at the age of just twenty – and within a few years he had created an unprecedented empire with his conquests, stretching from Greece to the borders of modern China, further than the Hellenic worldview had reached before Alexander’s time. This made him the object of endless admiration, imitation and envy, and numerous rulers of later antiquity tried in vain to match his achievements. A biography written by an Italian scholar introduces the modern reader to perhaps the most remarkable ruler in world history: a warrior king, a pleasure-seeker and a philosopher.
