Ce volume contient les livres III a V de l'Anabase, et conduit le lecteur de decembre 332 jusqu'a la fin de l'ete 326. Avec l'arrivee d'Alexandre en Egypte, ou il fonde Alexandrie, nous restons dans le monde mediterraneen. Mais ensuite, pour affronter Darius a Gaugameles, puis poursuivre le vaincu et eliminer l'usurpateur Bessos qui aurait pu le concurrencer, Alexandre s'enfonce au coeur de l'Asie ou il passe les annees 329-327. Une fois ces regions soumises, Alexandre prit la route de l'Inde ou il remporta une victoire memorable sur le roi Poros, mais perdit la confiance de ses soldats, epuises par les pluies de la mousson. Annees glorieuses, certes, mais attristees par des conflits sanglants avec les traditionalistes (Parmenion et ses amis, mais aussi Kleitos) et les philosophes de l'ecole d'Aristote, attaches aux valeurs de l'hellenisme. Cinq siecles apres les evenements, Arrien s'est efforce de rendre compte de ces evenements, et, meme si son recit trouble souvent l'historien moderne, il reste agreable a lire et elargit l'horizon des connaissances.
