Introduction: That Egyptian woman -- Dead men don't bite -- Cleopatra captures the old man by magic -- The golden age never was the present age -- Man is by nature a political creature -- We must often shift the sails when we wish to arrive in port -- An object of gossip for the whole world -- Illicit affairs and bastard children -- The wickedest woman in history.
Read by Robin Miles.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer brings to life the most intriguing woman in the history of the world: Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. Though her life spanned fewer than 40 years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

loved it submitted by grubbg on June 13, 2015, 1:17pm A picture of Cleopatra as a woman ruler of the times that makes sense, not the monstrous feminine of historical legend. Stacy Schiff's strong, solid research and prodigious literary talent come to bear on a subject worthy of both: the last pharaoh of Egypt. I loved it. A queen worthy of obeisance _and_ adoration.
