Cleopatra: The Life and Lovers of the Last Pharaoh and Queen of Egypt

LIMITED TIME PROMOTIONAL PRICE | REGULAR PAPERBACK PRICE: $16.99

In the history of the ancient world there is one woman who towers above all others in her legacy, influence, and historical significance. Even in modern times, her name is synonymous with exotic beauty, luxury and excess. But more importantly, her story is one that is intimately connected to some of the most powerful figures in history and to major historical events that have forever shaped our world. She is the last pharaoh and Queen of Egypt: Cleopatra.

A timeless reputation for seduction and murder

Cleopatra’s legend is rich and multi-faceted. She was a woman widely known for her epic powers of seduction and for using every tool at her disposal, even murdering her own family, to get her own way.

Since Cleopatra’s death some 2,000 years ago, she has been depicted as everything from a victim, a romantic heroine, a competent ruler of Egypt, and a merciless killer. The fervent propaganda, myth, and fantasy surrounding Cleopatra has served to distort the real story of Cleopatra, which is often no less spectacular than any of the myths that many have been duped into believing.

What do you really know about Cleopatra?

Cleopatra’s life may be long over, but her influence and her symbolism still looms large in our collective consciousness. Those who truly know her story have no difficulty understanding the unwavering public fascination with Cleopatra. She was a young girl who inherited one of the most powerful kingdoms in the ancient world and faced head-on all the vast power of the Roman Empire. Not to mention the fact that she seduced not one but two of Rome’s greatest generals, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, before dying tragically by her own hand.

Learn the myths and the real historical facts!

Cleopatra’s life and times has been told and retold throughout the ages by some of history’s greatest names including Plutarch, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. Most people derive their understanding of Cleopatra primarily through the lens of pop culture. But this doesn’t tell us the whole story. Cleopatra was a real woman who influenced some of the most important events to ever occur in human history; events that explain some of the fundamental structure of the Western and Middle Eastern worlds.
