El Dios de la guerra

As a child, Alexander dreamed of emulating Achilles' exploits. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to victory against the Greeks at the Chersonese. At twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three legendary battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever known. When he passed away undefeated at the age of thirty-two, there were no more worlds to conquer and he had far surpassed the exploits of his childhood hero. Now, behind the legend there was another more complex story. Narrated by his childhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander in an unprecedented version so far: raw, intimate, exciting ... The story of extraordinary courage and unimaginable willpower. The epic tragedy of a man who aspired to be more than human.
