CLEOPATRA - COMPLETE - GEORG EBERS TASCHENBUCH

This historical romance is about Egypt's last ruler  Cleopatra's life  desires  and love. None
of the beautiful women of history has given the world such legends of her seductive charms as
Cleopatra. She was the one who turned Rome's destiny and that of the world upside down because
of her magnificence. Julius Caesar  whose corps crushed the conquered world from Canopus to the
Thames  yielded to her  and Mark Antony threw away an empire and his honor to follow her to his
destruction. At last  she took her own life by allowing an Egyptian Cobra to bite her. She took
this bold step to avoid the dishonor of being paraded as a captive in a Roman triumph
celebrating the victory of Octavian. It is a sensual and intellectual work that presents a
beautiful and vivid picture of the time. German Egyptologist and novelist wrote it with a
masterful eye for detail and archeological sense of historical accuracy. It gives a good
glimpse into the lives of the people around Cleopatra.
