Alexander the Great (Life &, Times)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAlexander the Great (356-323 BC), King of Macedon, lived a life of mythical proportions. He modeled himself on Achilles and slept with a copy of the Iliad, annotated by Aristotle, his teacher, under his pillow. Unrivalled by any historical military figure, he conquered the Mediterranean, Persia, Afghanistan and northwest India during his brief life. A gifted strategist and self-proclaimed deity, Alexander was impetuous and merciless on the battlefield. He won every battle he fought, exhibited conspicuous personal bravery and, two millennia after his death, is still remembered as the greatest soldier of all time. By the time he died at the age of 33 he had introduced Greek civilization to the world. This volume also includes narrative captions and historical sidebars provide additional information about the classical world of Alexander the Great. A perfect compliment to the two movies on Alexander the Great. [detailed...]

Alexander the Great

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA sagacious ruler and a volatile, often violent commander, a sensuous youth and paradigm of chastity, Alexander the Great of Macedonia remains one of the most fascinating and contradictory figures in world history. Son of King Phillip andthe tempestuous Queen Olympia, educated by Aristotle himself, Alexander the Great led a swift succession of military victories that gave him an empire extending from Greece to India. From his first conquest in northern Greece at the age of sixteen, to victories over Macedonia, Egypt, Persia, and Asia, Alexander possessed almost inhuman energy and hubris that defied Zeus himself, until his death at the age of thirty-two. Alexander the Great is an epic history of a man who became one of the most heralded rulers and despised geniuses of all time. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionAlexander the Great (356-323 B.C.E.), who reigned as king of Macedonia for only thirteen years, set a flame of conquest that introduced the dynamism of Hellenism to the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian worlds. Re-creating their ossified cultures, he established a standard of leadership and military conquest that the most successful of Roman emperors, medieval knights, and steppe barbarians would never truly match. Julius Caesar wept that he could not surpass Alexander, whileNapoleon could only dream of such invincibility. Alexander had the great fortune to be born the able son of Philip II, one of the most talented men of war and politics produced by the Hellenic world, who created for Alexander the foundation of the Macedonian state and army that would be the tools of his future greatness. Alexander?s invincibility was the product of his profound genius - the perfection of body, boundless energy, imagination, daring, intellect, and vision in one… [detailed...]

Alexander`s Lovers

2006 y.
Publisher: Lulu.com
Description: Alexander`s Lovers is the eagerly awaited second book by the author of The Lost Tomb of Alexander the Great (see www.alexanderstomb.com) and will surely prove no less fascinating a read for those with an interest in the King. It is an exploration of Alexander`s character through the mirror of the lives of the people with whom he pursued romantic relationships, including his friend Hephaistion, his queen Roxane, his mistress Barsine and Bagoas the Eunuch. Alexander`s Lovers is aimed at the large range of Alexander enthusiasts who have been frustrated to find his rather intriguing love life relegated to little more than embarrassed footnotes in the conventional histories of his career. It is also rendered accessible to a wider audience with a casual interest in Alexander, through the incorporation of an 18,000-word prologue providing a concise introductory biography of the King.

Description: L`armata macedone varca I`Eufrate e il Tigri per raggiungere Babilonia. La reggia di Persepoli, il palazzo piu bello del mondo, viene data alle fiamme: si conclude cosi la vicenda di un antico impero e si apre un`era nuova. Il progetto piu ambizioso, quello di un mondo senza greci ne barbari e di una sola patria per un solo popolo, e davanti agli occhi di Alessandro. Ma gloria, onore e ricchezza generano anche invidia, timore e rancore. E il re onnipotente e trascinato in un vortice di violenza e di sangue. Soltanto I`amore puo essergli di aiuto, soltanto I`amore puo combattere lo sgomento di essere soli, davanti all`impresa sovrumana. Sara lei, Roxane, la piu bella, I`incantatrice, la regina, a dare ad Alessandro il coraggio di spingersi verso I`lndia misteriosa, verso il limite estremo. E poi la forza di rinunciare al sogno, di cercare, tra stenti e privazioni spaventose, la via del ritorno.

Alexis Rockman: Manifest Destiny

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAlexis Rockman`s Manifest Destiny translates into haunting yet inspiring simplicity the environmental crisis of global warming. In conjunction with the opening of the Brooklyn Museum`s new entrance pavilion in April 2004, the distinguished American artist Rockman (born 1962) was commissioned to paint a visionary 8-by-24-foot mural about the distant future boroughs. Rockman`s project suggests what geological, botanical, and zoological changes might transpire in the ecosystem of the area thousands or even millions of years ahead. Believing that the past provides clues to the future, Rockman drew from the museum`s historical paintings collection for source material, including such works as Albert Bierstadt`s A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie (1866), a monumental Hudson River School landscape. The artist is also not without humor--humans may have drowned Brooklyn, but the world survives, and here and there, life`s indomitable spirit prevails. On top… [detailed...]

Inspired by the natural sciences, he creates perverse yet seductive paintings that explore the intersections between biology and technology, reality and fantasy. Rockman`s earliest work deals with natural history in ways that are eerie but believable, his latest work is inspired by a trip to Guyana and by late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century science expedition narratives. The graphic presentation of this full-color monograph is a tour-de-force, with striking reproductions of Rockman`s beautifully rendered and thought-provoking paintings. [detailed...]

Never one to take himself, or anything else for that matter, too seriously.
