Book excerpt: Alexander III of Macedonia, whom history came to call "the Great," was one of the most talented military generals who ever lived. By the time of his untimely death, at age thirty-two, in 323 BC, he had conquered an enormous portion of the known world. His empire stretched from Greece eastward to India and encompassed dozens of diverse peoples with separate languages and cultures. Moreover, he spread Greek ideas and customs throughout these lands, affecting their political and social development for many centuries to come. It was not merely Alexander's military and political successes that distinguished him, however. A larger-than-life character in every way, he was driven by unrelenting ambition and the recurring fear that he might die young, before he could achieve his many lofty goals. He also believed that he was semidivine. Few historical figures have been as widely feared, loved, hated, discussed, and immortalized in human memory as he. Book jacket.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As legend has it, a young prince, Alexander, once subdued a wild stallion others couldn’t control. Impressed by the youngster’s bravery, his father, King Philip of Macedonia, predicted that Alexander would need to find a kingdom big enough for his ambitions. And when Alexander became king, that’s exactly what he did. Alexander and his well-trained armies first gained the support of the Greek city states. Then in the mid-300s B.C., he conquered Egypt and the Persian Empire. With his brilliant military tactics, Alexander took over lands including modern-day Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India. Although he lived only thirty-three years, Alexander and his armies spread Greek culture and customs to these conquered lands, joining Western and Eastern ideas to produce a new culture called Hellenism, which influenced the ancient world for centuries to come.

Book Synopsis Alexander the Great by : Philip Freeman
Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Philip Freeman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible yet authoritative biography of the Macedonian king and legendary conqueror—“as racy and pacey as any novel . . . a rollicking read” (Wall Street Journal). Alexander the Great is one of the most enduring figures in history. His military mastery was of such renown that future leaders from Hannibal to Napoleon studied his strategy and tactics. In the brief spa of his life—crowned at age nineteen and dead by thirty-two—he established the greatest empire of the ancient world. Born into the royal family of Macedonia, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle as a boy. Shortly after taking command, he launched an invasion of the Persian empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India. Within a short time after Alexander’s death in Baghdad, his empire began to fracture. In his lively and authoritative biography of Alexander, classical scholar and historian Philip Freeman describes Alexander’s astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. As Freeman explains, without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would not have been nearly as great as it was.
Book Synopsis Alexander the Great by : Norman F. Cantor
Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Norman F. Cantor and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alexander's behavior was conditioned along certain lines -- heroism, courage, strength, superstition, bisexuality, intoxication, cruelty. He bestrode Europe and Asia like a supernatural figure." In this succinct portrait of Alexander the Great, distinguished scholar and historian Norman Cantor illuminates the personal life and military conquests of this most legendary of men. Cantor draws from the major writings of Alexander's contemporaries combined with the most recent psychological and cultural studies to show Alexander as he was -- a great figure in the ancient world whose puzzling personality greatly fueled his military accomplishments. He describes Alexander's ambiguous relationship with his father, Philip II of Macedon; his oedipal involvement with his mother, the Albanian princess Olympias; and his bisexuality. He traces Alexander's attempts to bridge the East and West, the Greek and Persian worlds, using Achilles, hero of the Trojan War, as his model. Finally, Cantor explores Alexander's view of himself in relation to the pagan gods of Greece and Egypt. More than a biography, Norman Cantor's Alexander the Great is a psychological rendering of a man of his time.
