Alexander the Great comes to life as never before in this richly entertaining historical novel from the author of The Walled Orchard. In the course of eight years, Alexander the Great conquered Greece, Egypt and the Persian Empire. Although he died at the age of 33, he left behind a legacy that would change the world. Alexander at the World¹s End tells the story of two remarkable men: one who conquered empires with apparent ease, and one who struggled with the day-to-day problems of a small provincial town. It is the story of men whose paths crossed only briefly, but whose encounter changed both their lives ‹ and the course of history.
