Book Synopsis



Tras el mito de la reina más carismática de la Antigüedad se esconden la erudita, la gobernante, la estratega y la mujer.

Dos mil años después de su muerte, Cleopatra es más leyenda que personaje histórico: sobre ella se han concentrado cuestiones como el colonialismo en la memoria histórica, la sexualización de la mujer en la sociedad y muchas otras cuestiones que hablan más de nuestro presente y nuestros prejuicios que del Egipto clásico.

¿Fue Cleopatra una buena gobernante? ¿Cómo se vivía bajo su reinado? ¿Cómo llegó a convertirse en faraona? ¿Cómo se gestaron sus alianzas con César y Marco Antonio? ¿Encontraremos algún día su tumba? En esta obra, Alejandra Izquierdo nos descubre a la reina y su contexto: la conexión con Roma, el ambiente, la religión, la economía y la política que se desarrollan en la última etapa de los Ptolomeos en Egipto, y todo lo que representa la que fuera la última de su dinastía.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The sage, the ruler, the strategist and the woman behind the myth of the ancient world's most charismatic queen.

Two thousand years after her death, Cleopatra is more legend than historical figure, the subject of debates about colonialism in historical memory, the sexualization of women, and other controversies that tell us more about our own time and prejudices than they do about ancient Egypt.

Was Cleopatra a good queen? What was life like under her rule? How did she become a pharaoh? How did she forge alliances with Caesar and Mark Anthony? Will her tomb ever be discovered? In this work, Alejandra Izquierdo places the queen in the context of her world: her ties to Rome; the religion, economy and politics of the last stage of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt; and what it meant to be the last of her dynasty.
