وصف اي يو سي بريس

Combining cinematic drama and a sprawling historical narrative, this gripping history is the first book to follow the search for the tomb of Alexander the Great over the course of two millennia. Alexander is a towering figure in world history—his military genius and flamboyant personality have perhaps never been surpassed. But despite our long-held fascination with him, we have no idea where he is buried. The search for Alexander’s tomb began soon after his death in 323 BC and continues even today. The epic pursuit of the tomb spans continents and centuries, and involves some of history’s most iconic figures. This is the story not of a brief and spectacular life, but of a momentous and unexplained death, multiple burials, and the seemingly never-ending quest for a man-god’s final resting place. The journey ties together marvelous, seemingly disparate moments in history, from the Islamic conquest of Alexandria in 641 to Napoleon’s great defeat in the Battle of the Nile. Nicholas Saunders gives us intriguing and fresh portraits of familiar figures like Napoleon, Julius Caesar, and Howard Carter. Bringing together thousands of years of speculation, as well as new questions about the ramifications of actually solving the puzzle, Alexander’s Tomb is a fascinating look at one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. “Saunders’s lively prose draws readers into this compelling tale of conquest, political intrigue and the aura surrounding one of history’s great heroes.”—Publishers Weekly
