Rezension zu „Alexander the Great - A Life in Legend “
"'Alexander the Great enjoyed one of the most spectacularly glorious of human lives. His afterlife, as Richard Stoneman's masterly new survey amply documents, was every bit as spectacular and glory-bringing. Look on his fame, ye mighty, and despair! Or rather, read this literally marvelous book by one of the world's leading authorities on the multifarious Alexander-legend. Hero or villain: there is an Alexander here for every conceivable taste.' Paul Cartledge, Cambridge University 'The volume is highly informative in its goal of tracing the evolution of thought about Alexander through the centuries.' Dawn L. Gilley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'In this impressive volume the many varicoloured threads of the legend of Sultan Iskander are skilfully woven into a fascinating fabric. Stoneman has successfully faced an awesome challenge in marshalling a huge body of diverse and complex material into an ordered whole, subtly highlighting the factors which have given Alexander's legend such an enduring and widespread appeal and the ways in which it has been adapted to very different cultures.' Stephanie West, Oxford University"
