Alexander the Great is a lively and fascinating story about Alexander the Great, the legendary commander, warrior and discoverer who was revered as a demigod during his lifetime. His short but brilliant life contained many dramatic events that influenced the destinies of entire peoples and countries. Obsessed with the idea of uniting peoples, Alexander the Great was the first to recognize the need for political integration and the fusion of cultures and religions of East and West. Under the pen of Z. Fischer-Fabian, he appeared not only as a warrior and a king, but also as a dreamer and romantic.
