Sobre este artículo
Random House, 2004. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 1st Printing Stated First Edition. In addition, complete number line including number one. Hard cover in very good condition with black boards and gold gilt spine lettering. Text block clean and tight but for former owner's name on inside of front cover under the jacket flap; no other writings or markings noted. Dust jacket in likewise very good condition; not price clipped. * From a review by William H. McNeill, professor emeritus in history, University of Chicago, "". . . a learned and judicious essay about a man who became a myth in his lifetime and remains partly mythical today in spite of the best efforts of generations of scholars to interpret and reinterpret surviving ancient texts about him. Certainty on many points will never be possible, but reading what Rogers has to say about how Alexander changed the world around him and how his deeds still echo among us is a delightful exercise. Alexander modeled himself on Homer's heroes and actually joined their company, as no one else ever managed to do.""
