«Cleopatra. La regina che ingannò se stessa» is the historical biography by Antonio Spinosa, published by Mondadori in paperback (249 pages, in Italian).
It narrates Cleopatra's life from her ascent to the Egyptian throne at eighteen, in 51 BC, and her project to make Alexandria the capital of Roman power through her intelligence and her fascination over Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. The author contrasts the queen's public image with her more personal dimension.
The edition belongs to the Oscar storia collection (no. 334) and reproduces on the cover the oil painting «Cleopatra morienti», by Guido Cagnacci.
Recommended for readers of ancient history and biographies of Mediterranean political figures.
Italian journalist and writer (1923–2009)
