ALEXANDER

The first title in an international blockbuster trilogy of brutal passion and grand adventure set in ancient Greece - the story of Alexander the Great.

This first volume is the story of Alexander as a boy, born to a great king, Philip of Macedon, and his sensuous queen, Olympias, his swift ascent to manhood as a protege of Aristotle and close friend of Ptolemy, and the start of his great adventure to conquer the civilised world. A wonderful evocation of the far off and fascinating civilisation of ancient Greece, revealed in vibrant tones and scholarly detail.
