Schiff S. Cleopatra. Lifea Book

Product description from producer

The figure of Cleopatra is shrouded in myth. She went down in history as a lewd seductress, a companion of two prominent Romans - Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. But the story of this Egyptian woman was written by men. What can a woman say about her? Stacey Schiff tried to take a new look at the life of the Egyptian queen, to show her separately from men and to determine whether historians of the past were wrong. This is a thorough and interesting study of Cleopatra's life, in which the author separates truth from fiction and prejudice from reality. And before the reader appears an educated, incredibly rich, brilliant woman, the powerful ruler of the great kingdom of Egypt. Translation: Eugene Bondarenko.
