DJ shows very light shelf wear, some creasing head and tail of spine.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Illustrated with B&W maps and a few color plates ; 6.5 X 1.25 X 9.5 inches; 368 pages; "Famous long before she was notorious, Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Shakespeare and Shaw put words in her mouth. Michelangelo, Tiepolo, and Elizabeth Taylor put a face to her name. Along the way, Cleopatra's supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff here boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order. Rich in detail, epic in scope, Schiff 's is a luminous, deeply original reconstruction of a dazzling life."
