Description

Alexander at World's End by Tom Holt A witty and ironic tale that sheds new light on one of history's most famous figures. When Euxenus, a philosopher and intellectual, takes a job as tutor to a young prince in the court of King Philip of Macedon, he sets in motion events that will change both their lives forever. The story follows two remarkable men: Alexander, who would go on to conquer empires, and Euxenus, whose struggles with everyday problems provide a fascinating contrast. Tom Holt's unique blend of humor and historical insight makes for an unforgettable read. By exploring the brief but significant encounter between these two men, Holt achieves a deeply felt authenticity that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and anyone interested in the complexities of human experience.
