Alexander the Great - by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Legendary creator Yoshikazu Yasuhiko delivers a gripping, visually stunning portrait of Alexander the Great--warrior, visionary, and conqueror. From the assassination of his father Philip II to the thunderous battles that topple the Persian Empire and carry his army to the edges of India, Alexander charges across the known world in a blaze of glory and military brilliance. Yet beneath the epic clashes and divine ambitions lies a deeper drive: an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and discovery. Seen through the eyes of his personal historian, this is the story of a king who didn't just seek to rule empires, but to understand the world--fusing cultures, embracing the unknown, and pursuing a dream that stretched far beyond the battlefield. Action-packed, philosophically rich, and beautifully illustrated, Alexander the Great captures the full fire of one of history's greatest characters.
