The Lost Book of Alexander the Great

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the historical narrative of Ptolemy I, who chronicled Alexander the Great's conquests in a primary source that has since been lost to time. It reconstructs Ptolemy's accounts, offering insights into Alexander's campaigns and the cultural context of the era. By piecing together references from later works, the author aims to revive Ptolemy's perspective, shedding light on the significance of these conquests and their impact on history, while also exploring the challenges of historical reconstruction from fragmented evidence.
