Alexander of Macedon

We don't actually know that much about Alexander the Great's world, and trying to make determinations about his character in today's terms is a useless endeavor. Was Alexander a great conqueror, a master of war, a statesman, an explorer or a philosopher involved in science? Perhaps none of these statements will fully apply to him. Is it possible to compare Alexander as a conqueror to a man like Genghis Khan? Both achieved different results with different purposes; it is clear what Genghis Khan's purpose was, but it has not been possible to know what Alexander's was. Did Alexander really only adopt Aristotle's ideas in scientific philosophy? If there is one thing that is always overlooked, it is that Alexander was one of the best explorers in the world we live in. While doing all these, he also mobilized people who are difficult to notice but very important. This is one of the biggest contradictions in Alexander's life. What is actually important is that the impact of Alexander's existence was not really understood until his death. Almost all of the powerful people who emerged with him left important marks on human history. These marks preserved their existence for a long time and are things that can be easily seen. In this book, where you will read about the journey of a "king to reach the end of his world," you will travel with Alexander the Great and you will understand how and in what way what you will learn while reading his life story is reflected in today's world through the inferences you will make.
