Buongiorno e buona domenica a tutti sono Elena e grazie di essere su Life Is Like A Wave Who Rises and Falls. In questo periodo non riesco a trovare la giusta concentrazione per continuare a leggere The impact of Alexander’s conquest perché è interessantissimo ma devo dedicargli la giusta attenzione, così sto leggendo questi libretti e oggi vi giro la recensione da Alessandro III di Macedonia del libro:
Ancient Civilization: The Legacy Of Alexander – The Great King Of Macedonia
di Philip Briant
Independently published, 2022
ISBN: 979-8367427776, 59 pp.
The influence of Alexander the Great is extensive and profound. His father first succeeded in uniting the Greek city-states, and Alexander ultimately ended the Persian Empire. More significantly, Alexander’s conquests helped to disseminate Hellenism, or Greek culture, throughout his realm.
In reality, because of the strong impact Greek culture had on other cultures, Alexander’s reign marked the start of a new era known as the Hellenistic Age. Greek ideologies and culture might have remained exclusive to Greece without Alexander’s ambition.
Alexander the Great is viewed differently by several historians. Alexander had a dark side while being both smart and attractive. He had a violent temper and occasionally would kill trusted advisers and even friends at random.
Additionally, towards the conclusion of his numerous campaigns, he mindlessly killed thousands of people whose only sin was getting in his way.
Alexander the Great: Was he really all that?

Anche questo libro – come quello di Lazaros Georgoulas Alexander: The Rise and Fall of an Empire – è un acquisto inutile: si propone come lettura introduttiva ma è troppo frammentata per risultare utile e d’informazione. Anche questo libro non inizia neanche a grattare la superficie di chi fu e cosa fece Alessandro Magno. Mi spiego meglio a QUESTO LINK.
Buona giornata a tutti,
