书籍简介

获奖历史学家罗宾·莱恩·福克斯在《亚历山大大帝》一书中，通过大量相互矛盾的证据和传说，将亚历山大作为一个属于自己时代的人来研究。

坚韧、果断、无所畏惧，亚历山大是天生的战士和充满野心的统治者，他懂得征服和未知的激烈冒险。他死于公元前323年，时年32岁，他的庞大帝国包括超过200万平方英里，从希腊到印度。

他的成就是无与伦比的——他出色地领导了他的部下，建立了十八个新城市，在古代东方烙上了希腊文化的印记。他创造的神话在今天和在古代一样强大。

将历史学识和敏锐的心理学洞察力结合起来，亚历山大大帝将这个巨大的人物栩栩如生地展现在世人面前。

From award-winning historian Robin Lane Fox, Alexander the Great searches through the mass of conflicting evidence and legend to focus on Alexander as a man of his own time.

Tough, resolute, fearless, Alexander was a born warrior and ruler of passionate ambition who understood the intense adventure of conquest and of the unknown. When he died in 323 BC aged thirty-two, his vast empire comprised more than two million square miles, spanning from Greece to India.

His achievements were unparalleled - he had excelled as leader to his men, founded eighteen new cities and stamped the face of Greek culture on the ancient East. The myth he created is as potent today as it was in the ancient world.

Combining historical scholarship and acute psychological insight, Alexander the Great brings this colossal figure vividly to life.

'So enjoyable and well-written ... Fox's book became my main guide through Alexander's amazing story'

Oliver Stone, director of Alexander

'I do not know which to admire most, his vast erudition or his imaginative grasp of so remote and complicated a period and such a complex personality'

Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times
