My Current Read:- Alexander: Ends of the Earth
In a span of one month I have completed the trilogy of books on Alexander. It's been one roller-coaster ride to have known him, his passion to pursue his dreams and his vision for his men. The three volumes have been Child of a dream, Sands of Ammon and Ends of the Earth. What a king and a man he was. Amazing passion. He was undefeated until the end, and only because an unknown illness while returning back to his home country. Very unfortunate. His life story also teaches one about many virtues in life. Character integrity, humanity, belief in destiny, pursuing ones dreams. Amazing work by Valerio Messimo Manfredi. By the way, his companions were Hephaestion, Ptolemy, Perdiccas, Seleucus, Eumenes, Lysimachus and Leonattus, who all grew up together with him and took an oath to stay and follow him until the ends of the earth, until death and they stayed that way.
