La mujer cuya extraordinaria belleza envuelta en oro y piedras preciosas ocultaba una inteligencia y poder de manipulación únicos. La seductora infatigable que enloquecía a los hombres. La hábil estratega que supo jugar sus cartas y liberó Egipto del yugo romano. La leyenda personificada. "Memorias de Cleopatra" nos ofrece la oportunidad de escuchar en boca de la propia Cleopatra su verdadera historia. “In my experience, there are two things that no one will admit to: having no sense of humor and being susceptible to flattery.” ― Margaret George, The Memoirs of Cleopatra I love books on Cleopatra. This one is one of the better ones I have read. I especially like when the book is told in Cleopatra's own voice and that is what this book does. It was a fun read. Cleopatra is presented mas a strong but very human royal which I quite liked. I was glad to see the book did not skim and took us through her time with Julius Caesar as well as Marc Anthony. I also loved reading about her early years. It would be tough for me to rate it a 5 due to the fact that one of my all time favorite books is another Bio of Cleopatra that I read quite a long time ago and no Bio I have read since has been, for me, as compelling. But this is one of the better ones out there and if you are interested in Cleopatra I would recommend this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A famous femme fatale tells all in this memoir of her reign as Cleopatra VII, queen of Egypt. Yes, it is true, she did have herself smuggled, wrapped in a rug to Julius Caesar's bedroom, and was pleasantly surprised. As for Marc Antony, a gorgeous man. From her earliest memories, to her final days as she prepares to commit suicide by snake bite. By the author of The Autobiography of Henry VIII. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I found Cleopatra to be a unique and engrossing character and would love to read more accounts of her life. ( )
