L'armata perduta

The 4th century BC. A village in Syria. A woman, dressed in rags and covered in blisters and sores, is seen approaching on the road coming from the north. Suspicious of her, the villagers shout and throw rocks at her. She is struck and falls. She seems dead... Her story encompasses one of the great collective acts of heroism of the ancient world. She was the mistress of Xenophon, a general in the vast army of ten thousand Greek mercenaries from virtually every Greek city state that was employed by Cyrus the Younger, in his quest to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. Manfredi, one of the world's experts, has created an rip-roaring adventure seen from the perspective of the women who accompanied the soldiers on their long journey. A new and intense account of the most celebrated march in man's history, by the acclaimed author of the Alexander trilogy.

The Lost Army

L'armata macedone varca l'Eufrate e il Tigri per raggiungere Babilonia. La reggia di Persepoli, il palazzo più bello del mondo, viene data alle fiamme: si conclude così la vicenda di un antico impero e si apre un'era nuova. Il progetto di un mondo senza greci né barbari e di una sola patria per un solo popolo è davanti agli occhi di Alessandro. Ma gloria, onore, ricchezza generano anche invidia, timore e rancore. E il re onnipotente è trascinato in un vortice di violenza e di sangue. Soltanto l'amore può essergli d'aiuto. Sarà lei, Roxane, l'inantatrice, la regina a dare ad Alessandro il coraggio di spingersi verso l'India misteriosa, il limite estremo.
