Description
Long before historians added “the Great” to his name, Alexander stated, “I would slightly live a short life of glory than a long considered one of obscurity.” He indubitably lived as much as this ambition, conquering the various known world in just 13 years before his death at age 33. Even though undefeated in his lifetime, Alexander died unsatisfied – he at all times wanted more. His ambitious personality comes as no surprise making an allowance for his upbringing: born to powerful parents, he studied under Aristotle and grew up believing himself a descendant of the Greek heroes Achilles and Heracles. His parents and tutors raised him to consider he had something to end up, and this audiobook serves as an account of what he accomplished.
