Cleopatra: Last Queen of Egypt
Autor Joyce Tyldesleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iun 2010 – vârsta de la 13 ani
The
Romans
regarded
her
as
“fatale
monstrum”—a
fatal
omen.
Pascal
said
the
shape
of
her
nose
changed
the
history
of
the
world.
Shakespeare
portrayed
her
as
an
icon
of
tragic
love.
But
who
was
Cleopatra,
really?
We
almost
feel
that
we
know
Cleopatra,
but
our
distorted
image
of
a
self-destructive
beauty
does
no
justice
to
Cleopatra's
true
genius.
InCleopatra,
Egyptologist
Joyce
Tyldesley
offers
an
unexpectedly
vivid
portrait
of
a
skillful
Egyptian
ruler.
Stripping
away
our
preconceptions,
many
of
them
as
old
as
Egypt's
Roman
conquerors,
Cleopatra
is
a
magnificent
biography
of
a
most
extraordinary
queen.

Recenzii
Tyldesley's strength has always been her storytelling, and here she is on top form.
This excellent biography scores with a wealth of splendid detail.
Magnificent ... strips away preconceptions to provide a rich, absorbing picture of a country and its Egyptian Queen.
A very readable account of the life of Cleopatra VII, and one that goes some way to redress the way in which she is often viewed ... Intriguing insights into life and society in the Egypt of the Ptolemies.
4 Stars: [A] sympathetic biography...she is able to place Cleopatra securely in Egyptian culture and history.
A lively and informative history...The book is a treasure trove of facts and figures...
