The idea of conquering the world is as old as the world itself. Fortunately, no one has been able to realize it, but one of the great conquerors was close to its realization. Perhaps even closer than others who came after him. History has preserved for us his features, depicted by the ancient Greek sculptor Lysippus, and written evidence of his exploits. Can we touch the distant past and imagine what Alexander, the young king of small Macedonia, who in the IV century BC conceived the idea of uniting the peoples of the earth under his rule, was really like? Among the best biographies of the great general since Plutarch's time is the trilogy by Valerio Massimo Manfredi (b. 1943), a renowned Italian historian, archaeologist, writer, screenwriter and journalist, a member of the famous Anabasis expedition. His novels about Alexander the Great have been translated into 36 languages and published in 55 countries. Author of historical fiction, Manfredi has been honored with such prestigious awards as the American Biographical Institute's Man of the Year Award, the Hemingway Award and the Bancarella Prize.
