A SUNDAY TIMES AND TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR
On a sparsely populated Egyptian coastline, Alexander the Great sketched his vision of a metropolis into the sand. Situated on the cusp of three continents, it became the city where Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital that changed the face of philosophy, religion and science forever.
In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a fascinating journey across millennia. Rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.
'Fantastic ... it will be hard to tell [Alexandria's] story in a more informed and affectionate way than Issa has'
AL JAZEERA
'A multifaceted history of an enthralling city'
Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians: The Age of the Great Kings
'A cornucopia of fascinating details, every page revealing a new delight'
