Description
Stacy Schiff, a master biographer, reconstructs the life of Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, separating myth from reality to reveal the shrewd strategist and ingenious negotiator behind the legend. This luminous account delves into her complex relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, exploring how her political acumen and personal alliances reshaped the ancient world. Schiff’s deeply original work brings to life the magnetic queen whose dramatic story, often obscured by centuries of interpretation, deserves to be understood on its own terms.
