«Mouche-toi, Cléopâtre» is the historical novel by Françoise Xenakis, published by Hachette Littérature in hardback (272 pages, in French).
Cleopatra, the last sovereign of the Ptolemaic dynasty, is portrayed far from the myth: sensual, cunning, torn, and capable of loving unto death. Between naval battles, the Nile's resurgence, and her loves with Caesar and Mark Antony, historical evocation combines with an agile narrative that brings the queen closer to today's reader.
The novel was published in 1988, and the title alludes to Mark Antony's response to Cleopatra when she bursts into tears.
For readers of historical fiction who want to rediscover Cleopatra from a human and contemporary perspective.
