Alexander: The Ends of the Earth
Third volume in a trilogy about Alexander the Great.
The History of Alexander the Great
This 1889 book is an edition of the Syriac version of a text on the life of Alexander the Great.
Alexander the Great in Fact and Fiction
This book collects together ten contributions by leading experts in the field of Alexander studies which represent the most advanced scholarship in this area. They span the gamut between historical reconstruction and historiographical research, and viewed as a whole represent a wide spectrum of methodology. This first English collection of essays on Alexander includes a comparison of the Spanish conquest of Mexico with the Macedonians in the east which examines the attitudes towards the subject peoples and the justification of conquest, an analysis of the attested conspiracies at the Macedonian and Persian courts, and studies of panhellenic ideology and the concept of kingship. There is a radical new interpretation of the hunting fresco from Tomb II at Vergina, a new date for the pamphlet on Alexander's last days which ends the Alexander romance, and a re-interpretation of the bizarre portents of his death. Three chapters on historiography address the problem of interpreting Alexander's attested behaviour, the indirect source tradition used by Polybius, and the resonances of contemporary politics in the extant histories.
Sinnesraum Stadt
Eine Stadt hat Flair, wenn alle Sinne angesprochen werden - und nicht nur das Stadtbild mediatisiert wird. Denn der Sinnesraum Stadt wird synästhetisch erlebt. Flaneure lassen sich durch Stadtviertel treiben, spüren ihren Rhythmen nach und atmen ihren Geruch. Die Sinne vermitteln mehr als ein interesseloses Wohlgefühl; sie geben Auskunft über Sozialpraktiken, schaffen leibliche Bezüge zu Orten und Mitmenschen und tragen zur Identitätsbildung bei. Das Buch erkundet diese polyvalenten Sinneslandschaften der Stadt und entdeckt die urbanen Atmosphären neu.
Concerning Alexander the Great: A Reconstruction of Cleitarchus
The most influential account of the career of Alexander the Great was penned by Cleitarchus in the decades after Alexander's death. Most of the surviving ancient texts on Alexander were based upon his work, but every copy of the original was destroyed in antiquity. Now the entire book has been revived in an exciting reconstruction based upon an in-depth analysis of the surviving ancient works that it inspired. Here you will find Alexander revealed in a startling new light as a very human and believable individual, who drives and is then driven by a momentous cascade of events. Here you can rediscover the oldest and also the most authentic literary portrait of the king spanning all thirteen years of his reign.
