{"product_id":"alexander-the-great-elizabeth-baynham-9780472030811","title":"Alexander the Great: The Unique History of Quintus Curtius","description":"He was a pupil of Aristotle and conqueror of much of the known world. This handsome commander, leading his army from the lofty perch of the wild steed Bucephalas, looked out with his one dark and one blue eye upon the world he ruled by divine ambition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe reign and personality of Alexander the Great---one of the most romantic and powerful kings in history---have remained a source of fascination from antiquity to the present. But because the ancient information surrounding the conqueror is rich, contradictory, and complex, every historian of this near-mythical ruler-whether ancient or modern-invariably creates his or her own Alexander. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe unique work of one such ancient historian, Quintus Curtius, is the subject of Elizabeth Baynham's book. She mines Curtius' study of power for his contemporary perspective, historical methodology, and his portrait of the famous king and presents us with a brilliant, multifaceted study of this unique account regarding one of the most fascinating rulers in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Baynham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472030817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472030811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.04w x 0.84d","brand":"Elizabeth Baynham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078098743551,"sku":"9780472030811","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50d7a143-4b33-465a-b212-582f09edab05.jpg?v=1685473538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alexander-the-great-elizabeth-baynham-9780472030811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
