　　The remarkable life of Alexander the Great, one of the

greatest military geniuses of all time, vividly told by one of the

world's leading exp erts in Greek history. With all the

intensity, insight, and narrative drive that made The Spartans such

a hit with critics and readers, Paul Cartledge's Alexander the

Great: glowingly illuminates the brief but iconic life of Alexander

(356-323 BC), king of Macedon, conqueror of the Persian Empire, and

founder of a new world order. Cartledge, the distinguished scholar

and historian long acknowledged as the leading international

authority on ancient Sparta and Greece, brilliantly evokes

Alexander's remarkable political and military accomplishments,

leads us along the geographical path of his victorious armies, and

compellingly charting the tremendous field of this warrior hero's

influence. Alexander's legacy has had an astounding impact on

military tacticians, scholars, and statesmen—in his own lifetime

and in ours. In various countries and at various times he has been

seen as hero, holy man, Christian saint, a new Achilles,

philosopher, scientist, prophet, and visionary. Cartledge

brilliantly explains why and how Alexander is endlessly

fascinating, with a view to a better understanding of such

fundamental topics as charismatic leadership, imperialism, and

Middle Eastern geopolitics.

亚历山大虽然有亚里士多德这样的老师，但他来自不同的传统，相信那种建立在个人魅力之上的君主统治。在他看来，自由与自治都是他可以随意赐予，或剥夺的，而对于希腊人而言，自由与自治是不容侵犯的基本政治权利。

为了将大权牢牢地握在自己手中，经过无数次征战、阴谋、杀戮，亚历山大发现自己终于孤独地爬到了顶峰，下面却是深不见底的阿鼻地狱。手中的权利毫无用武之地，心中却依然忐忑不安。——厄恩斯特·贝迪安
