Cleopatra: La última reina de Egipto
Y si casi todo lo que creemos saber sobre Cleopatra fuera propaganda?
La imagen de la reina seductora que conquistó a Julio César y Marco Antonio ha sobrevivido durante más de dos mil años. Pero esa imagen fue escrita, en gran medida, por quienes la derrotaron.
Este libro reconstruye la vida de Cleopatra VII a partir de las fuentes antiguas, la arqueologÃa y la investigación histórica moderna, distinguiendo siempre entre lo documentado, lo inferido y lo discutido. El resultado es una biografÃa rigurosa y profundamente narrativa que separa el mito de la evidencia.
Aquà no encontrará una reina reducida a su belleza ni a sus amantes.
Encontrará a una soberana que gobernó el Estado más rico del Mediterráneo, administró el grano que alimentaba a Roma, habló más lenguas que cualquier otro monarca de su tiempo, negoció con César y con Marco Antonio como igual, y luchó durante más de veinte años por mantener la independencia del último gran reino helenÃstico frente al avance imparable de Roma.
Desde las intrigas de la corte ptolemaica hasta la guerra de Accio; desde la propaganda de Augusto hasta la construcción del mito que todavÃa perdura, este libro examina cada episodio contrastando las fuentes antiguas con la investigación moderna para responder una pregunta fundamental:
Quién fue realmente Cleopatra?
Una obra para lectores de historia rigurosa que combina el ritmo de una novela con el rigor de un ensayo histórico.
Ideal para lectores de Adrian Goldsworthy, Stacy Schiff, Barry Strauss, Mary Beard y de la historia del mundo clásico.
