Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "A heart-pounding, mind-bending adventure." --Ilyon WooA riveting biography of Alexander the Great's final years, when the leader's insatiable desire to conquer the world set him off on an exhilarating, harrowing journey that would define his legacy. By 330 B.C.E., Alexander the Great had reac…hed the pinnacle of success. Or so it seemed. He had defeated the Persian ruler Darius III and seized the capital city of Persepolis. His exhausted and traumatized soldiers, veterans of the conquest of Persia, were ready to return home to Macedonia. Yet Alexander had other plans. He was determined to continue heading east to Afghanistan in search of his ultimate goal: to reach the end of the world. Alexander's unrelenting desire to press on resulted in a perilous seven-year journey through the unknown eastern borderlands of the Persian empire that would test the great ancient conqueror's physical and mental limits. He faced challenges from the natural world, moving through deadly monsoons and extreme temperatures; from a rotating cast of well-matched adversaries, who conspired against him at every turn; and even from his own men, who questioned his motives and distrusted the very beliefs on which Alexander built his empire. This incredible sweep of time, culminating with his death in 323 BC at the age of 32, would come to determine Alexander's legacy and shape the globally interconnected Hellenistic world he left behind. In Alexander at the End of the World, renowned classicist and art history professor Rachel Kousser vividly brings to life Alexander's labyrinthine, treacherous final years, weaving together a brilliant series of epic battles, stunning landscapes, and nearly insurmountable obstacles. Meticulously researched and grippingly written, Kousser's narrative is an unforgettable tale from classical antiquity of daring and adventure, an inspiring portrait of grit and ambition, and a powerful meditation on the ability to learn from failure. This gripping work of ancient history explores the untold story of the conqueror's transformation, revealing: Leadership Under Pressure: Follow Alexander through deadly monsoons, treacherous conspiracies, and open dissent from his own men as his physical and mental limits are tested on the road to the end of the world.A Clash of Cultures: Witness the Macedonian king's struggle to rule the vast Persian Empire, a challenge that forced him to compromise and integrate in ways that would change the course of history.Resilience in Defeat: Discover how Alexander's greatest failures--from intractable guerrilla warfare in Central Asia to full-blown army protests--forged his character and shaped his ultimate triumphs.The Birth of the Hellenistic World: Go beyond the epic battles to understand the complex legacy of a man whose ambition forged a new, globally interconnected world out of the crucible of war.
