Agnes Savill - Alexander the Great and His Time

"To be mystical and intensely practical, to dream greatly and to do

greatly, is not," says Agnes Savill, "given to many men; it is this

combination which gives Alexander his place apart in history. Aristotle

had taught him that man's highest good lay in right activity of mind

and body both. [Alexander]... gives a strangely vivid impression of

one whose body was his servant."

He was trained by Aristotle in every branch of human learning, conquered

much of Asia, and was one of the greatest leaders in the history of

the world. He was unquestionably one of the most brilliant and commanding

generals of all time. He greatly influenced the spread of Hellenism

and is responsible for profound changes in the course of world development.

Agnes Savill gives us a vivid account of the life, personality, failures

and accomplishments of one of history's largest characters.
