Alexander: Child of a Dream - Valerio Massimo Manfredi

Who could have been born to conquer the world other than a god? A boy, born to be a great king – Philip of Macedon – and his sensuous queen, Olympias. Alexander became a young man of imense, unfathomable potential. Under the tutelage of the great Aristotle and with the friendship of Ptolemy and Hephaiston, he became the mightiest and most charismatic warrior, capable of subjugating the known world to his power.

A marvellous novel of one of history’s greatest characters and his quest to conquer the civilised world.
