Sobre este artículo
New York: Little, Brown and Company. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2010. First Edition; Thirteenth Printing. Hardcover. 0316001929 . DJ shows very light shelf wear, some creasing head and tail of spine.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Illustrated with B&W maps and a few color plates ; 6.5 X 1.25 X 9.5 inches; 368 pages; "Famous long before she was notorious, Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Shakespeare and Shaw put words in her mouth. Michelangelo, Tiepolo, and Elizabeth Taylor put a face to her name. Along the way, Cleopatra's supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff here boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order. Rich in detail, epic in scope, Schiff 's is a luminous, deeply original reconstruction of a dazzling life." .
Reseñas
El Mar 16 2011, FarolB dijo:
Much has been written about Cleopatra, and probably we're all stuck with that image of Elizabeth Taylor in the role. But Schiff has written a biography that shows the cunning, the intelligence, and the place in history of a woman who's never been so thorougly revealed. An in-depth exploration of a personality ahead of her time, and a document that will please readers who love a story rich in authentic detail.

Sobre Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
