{"product_id":"daimon-georgette-gouveia-9781674597256","title":"Daimon: A Novel of Alexander the Great","description":"He was a romantic and a realist, a lover of strong women and beautiful men. And though he was at one time the richest, most powerful man in the world, his most prized possession was a book -- Homer's The Iliad, annotated by his tutor, Aristotle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost of all, he was as much a myth as a man and a mystery ... even to himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Alexander the Great died in Babylon in 323 B.C. a month shy of his 33rd birthday and after conquering and reordering Persia, he left a sprawling empire and a burning question: What drove him? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore Alexander, culture flowed East to West. After, it would flow West to East, and we are the heirs of the continuing tension between the two. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this historical novel, Alexander encounters the only two enemies he cannot defeat: death and time. Surrendering to both, he considers a life that attempted to bridge seemingly irreconcilable opposites -- East and West, Persians and Greeks, a brutal father and a ruthless mother, a wily wife and a male soulmate. And above all, a tempered mind and ungovernable passions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgette Gouveia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1674597258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781674597256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.51d","brand":"Georgette Gouveia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067609641215,"sku":"9781674597256","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d84a31c5-6a6f-489a-b48a-1ebccace1743.jpg?v=1685414264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daimon-georgette-gouveia-9781674597256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
