Young Alexander. As Alexander Macedonian became great. Rowson A.

The great conqueror, an enlightened ruler or a madman with a mania of greatness?

Alexander of Macedon is one of the most contradictory figures in world history. Each generation saw its Alexander. Until recently, very little was known about his youth. But the last archaeological finds allow us to take a fresh look at the formation of his personality.

Having grown among seer and priests, surrounded by omens from birth, Alexander always knew that he was destined for an extraordinary fate. Teachers and mentors helped to form his body and mind. Aristotle shared his wisdom with him.

This exciting book tells how the path that brought Alexander to the top of the world began.
