«Kleopatra. Eine Biographie» is the biography of Cleopatra written by Michael Grant, published by Gustav Lübbe Verlag in hardback (384 pages, in German).
The work traces Cleopatra's life from her early years to her tragic end: her rise to the throne, her complex relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and her decisive role in the history of Egypt and Rome. It combines academic rigour and accessible exposition, with maps and illustrations.
This German edition of 1977 is a translation from English by Hans Jürgen Baron von Koskull.
A work for readers interested in the history of Egypt and Rome and in historical biographies, with an academic yet accessible approach.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
