Alexander "the Great" -- son of the Macedonian king who created and trained the mighty army that Alexander inherited -- did what few, if any, mortals ever have: he subdued much of the then-known world. His "progress" was stopped only by his force's mutiny east of India's Indus River. He died in his early 30s in Babylon, but had he lived on, he probably would have trekked west to try to bag Arabia, North Africa, and Western Europe. (He controlled Greece and nearly everything east of it.) But what caused Alexander's macho posturing, and his mass subjugation? Read on....
It was bedtime. Chris and his father sat down side by side on Chris's bed. They talked of Chris's friend Alexander, the red horse with green stripes. "Alexander was a pretty bad horse today," Chris said. "He wouldn't eat his cereal. He wouldn't sit up at the table and he spilled his milk." "That's too bad," said Chris's father. "What else happened?" The ensuing conversation of Alexander's bad day makes for an entertaining read, along with its priceless ending.

Klaus Mann erzählt die Geschichte des Mazedonierkönigs als Versuch, einen alten Menschheitstraum zu verwirklichen: ein Weltreich der Freiheit und Liebe will Alexander errichten. Doch während der junge König seinen Siegeszug mit Blumen und Jubelgesang beginnt, bringt er am Ende, als sich sein Imperium von den ägyptischen Wüsten bis zum Indus erstreckt, den Menschen nur noch Unterdrückung und Jammer. Klaus Mann entmystifiziert die Figur Alexanders, den die Geschichtsbücher seit jeher als "den Großen" präsentieren, mit den Mitteln seiner ausgeprägt erotischen Fabulierkunst. Stefan Zweig urteilte, als der Roman 1929 erstmals erschien, Klaus Manns "Heldengedicht" sei "ausgezeichnet gelungen, vom ersten Blatt an rauscht, brodelt, quirlt, schäumt und spritzt dieses Buch in der scharfen Böe einer aufgegorenen Prosa".

A stunningly written new biography of Alexander the Great, based on a series of important new discoveries and the author’s own translations of source material from twelve ancient languages. In 336 BCE, at the age of twenty, Alexander, a wide-eyed boy from the hills of Macedon, inherited a tumbledown kingdom, a pile of debts and an army which answered to nobody. Desperate to hold on to power, he led the army east, into the heart of the vast Persian Empire, and inadvertently began the greatest military campaign in history. The young man became a king, the king became a hero, the hero became a living god, and the god died aged thirty-two, broken-hearted in Babylon. For centuries, historians have told his story, yet Alexander has remained a mystery. But now, the ruins of his cities have emerged from the bottom of the sea and the dust of Central Asian hillsides. The diaries of Babylonian astronomers who knew him have been deciphered. The tombs of his ancestors have been unearthed. For the first time, instead of the legend, we can meet Alexander the man. Based on more than a decade of cutting-edge research, Alexander allows readers to feel the desert wind and experience the full horror of battle. Richardson’s research has taken him from the catacombs of Egypt to the passes of Afghanistan. Alexander is a cinematic work of non-fiction: a revelatory retelling of one of the most famous and elusive stories in history.
