Ilustration Toward Books The Ends of the Earth (Alexandros #3)

All his life, Alexander defied the limits the gods gave mortals. That passion overwhelmed cities and armies...and united a vast empire. Alexander was no longer simply King of Macedonia: The Pan-Hellenic League had named him Supreme Leader. Egypt crowned him Pharaoh. And all Persia acknowledged him as Great King. He was a true heir to Achilles and Hercules, a leader who had guided troops to victory beyond the Nile, the Tigris, and the Euphrates. Now, conquering India would place all of Asia in his hands. But his army reached the limit of its endurance, and the cost of triumph had been high -- in blood, betrayal, and tragedy. Alexander lost Barsine, his first beloved; Bucephalus, a steed unequaled; Peritas, his loyal hound; and Hephaestion, the closest companion of his youth. Still he sought the wisdom and might to transform the empire he had claimed into the one of which he dreamed, no longer divided into victors and vanquished, but a unified people under his rule. For Alexander was destined for timeless glory in the domain of heroes and gods -- both in his lifetime and in the realm of eternal legend.

Assessment Regarding Books The Ends of the Earth (Alexandros #3)

A fitting end to a wonderful trilogy! Valerie Massimo Manfredi has outdone himself with the Alexander trilogy. A masterful storytelling to the legendary heroics of Alexander of Macedon. The story, although most of which is known by any average enthusiast of history, has a wonderful re-imagining at the hands of this gem of a writer who I think is very underrated. It certainly won't leave you guessing but rather keeps you wanting more!

Aléxandros: il confine del mondo = Alexander: The Ends of the Earth (Aléxandros, #3), Valerio Massimo ManfrediThe Ends of the Earth (original title: Il confine del Mondo) is the third and last part of Valerio Massimo Manfredi's trilogy on Alexander the Great. After the Oracle of Ammon told him he is the son of Zeus, Alexander feels invincible and marches north towards the historic town of Babylon. The beautiful city is ravaged and the Palace of Persepolis, the former residence of King Darius, is

Last book of 2010!I found this novel just as well written and descriptive as its forerunners, but I must admit the whole besiege, surrender, endless journeying and sex plot was getting tiresome. Despite how thorough the author's researching has been, I do believe that it was a misjudgment on his part to overlook Alexander's relationship with Hephaestion, considering the 'indefatigable' efforts Manfredi went to describe his repetitive sex sessions with his various and docile wives.

The concluding novel to Manfredi's Alexander Trilogy is the biggest in the series which reflects Alexander's growing ambition as he turns his sights on the Persian empire and beyond. Like the first few books, the novel moves at a brisk pace and deals with the struggles that the army endures both from the environment and every varying foes. The author must be commended for the exhaustive effort that has gone into the background research for this book as well as for depicting the events of the



i loved this series. i try to compare it to mary renault series they both talk about the battles of course but the difference i see in them in renaults alexander is more compassionate and she has him more of his love interest being with men than with women, she hardly ever says anything about his wives and there views on roxanne are totally diffrent. the times lines are a little different between the 2 also.in this series i love how it talked about memnon in the second book,i had never really

There are some really great moments in this book, but they're eclipsed by the deluge of things that happen. This should have been two or three books, or some stuff should have just been left out. Glad to have read it in any case, but more for the subject matter than for the craft.
