«Mouche-toi, Cléopâtre» is the historical novel by Françoise Xenakis, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (281 pages, in French).
Françoise Xenakis offers a fictionalised portrait of Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, that moves away from the stereotype of the seductress: she is shown as powerful, sensual, but also lonely and vulnerable. The narrative follows her ties with her brother, with Julius Caesar and with Mark Antony, and ends with the loss of power and life for having put love first.
The J'ai Lu edition bears the number 2359 and its ISBN-10 is 227722359X.
