Title : The Memoirs of Cleopatra, Volume 1 - The Daughter of Isis - Margaret George - Book

Summary :

More than a historical figure, Cleopatra is a legend. Heir to the Ptolemaic dynasty, a fatal seductress, loved by Caesar and then by Antony, who dreamed with her of ruling the Orient, she made Egypt shine with ultimate splendor before willingly offering herself to the bite of an asp. Without dispelling this aura of fascination and mystery, the American novelist Margaret George has meticulously reconstructed this exceptional destiny, and brings to life her journey as a queen and a woman in her deepest intimacy. Childhood, the beginnings of a young seventeen-year-old queen, a weakened and divided Egypt, the long exile in Ashkelon, the incredible adventure at the end of which she became Caesar's mistress, to whom she gave birth to a son, Caesarion... these are the highlights of this great saga of power, ambition, and passion. After Caesar's death, Cleopatra returned to Alexandria and a long reign began before her.
