书籍简介

★“这是一本真正精彩的读物，细节丰富，充满讲故事的天赋”——约翰·盖伊

★“精彩绝伦，扣人心弦”——西蒙·塞巴格·蒙蒂菲奥里

★这是一部权威而又激动人心的新书，讲述了从亚历山大大帝到克利奥帕特拉的古埃及最后一个伟大王朝。

亚历山大大帝抵达埃及后，推翻了可恶的波斯霸主，受到救世主般的欢迎。他以对他们悠久的传统表示应有的敬意来回报他们。他死后，随着希腊帝国的分裂和他亲密的顾问们为战利品争吵不休，一位名叫托勒密的马其顿将军夺取了埃及王位，开创了一个持续 300 年的新王朝。

接下来发生的事情与埃及历史上的任何时期一样戏剧化和引人入胜。希腊和埃及文化的独特融合带来了学术繁荣，新城亚历山大成为古代世界大型的图书馆所在地，吸引了聪明的人才。战争、两面派、外国帝国和巨额财富都随之而来，但罗马帝国的崛起将托勒密时代推向终结。

借助新的考古发现和原始纸莎草文件，托比·威尔金森揭示了一个现在才可以完整讲述的故事。从宫廷生活到女性的角色，从国际贸易到埃及本土人和希腊移民之间的紧张关系，生活的各个方面都在这里。《最后的王朝》充满了令人惊讶的见解、生动的描述和栩栩如生的人物，并以作者引人入胜的叙事风格写成，将吸引所有历史、考古、艺术和文化爱好者。

'A truly splendid read, richly detailed and powered by an unfailing gift for storytelling' John Guy

'Superb and gripping' Simon Sebag Montefiore

A definitive and thrilling new account of the last great dynasty of ancient Egypt, from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra.

When Alexander the Great arrived in Egypt, he overthrew the hated Persian overlords and was welcomed as a saviour. He repaid them by showing due reverence to their long-held traditions. After his death, as the Greek empire broke up and his closest advisers squabbled over the spoils, a Macedonian general named Ptolemy seized the Egyptian throne, ushering in a new dynasty that would last for 300 years.

What followed was as dramatic and compelling as any period in Egyptian history. The unique blend of Greek and Egyptian cultures led to an unprecedented flowering of learning, as the new city of Alexandria became home to the Great Library, the largest in the ancient world, that attracted the brightest minds. Wars, incest, double-dealing, foreign empires and huge wealth all followed, but the rise of the Roman empire would eventually bring the Ptolemaic era crashing to a close.

Helped by the latest archaeological discoveries and using original papyrus documents, Toby Wilkinson uncovers a story that can only now be fully told. From courtly life to the role of women, from international trade to the tensions between native Egyptians and incoming Greeks, all aspects of life are here. Filled with surprising insights, vivid descriptions and larger-than-life characters, and written in the author's compelling narrative style, The Last Dynasty will appeal to all lovers of history, archaeology, art and culture.
