Book excerpt: History has many romantic stories to tell of the part which women have played in determining the destinies of nations. Sometimes it is a woman's beauty that causes the shifting of a province. Again it is another woman's rich possessions that incite invasion and lead to bloody wars. Many men in private life have lost fortune and fame for the love of woman. Kings have incurred the odium of their people, and have cared nothing for it in comparison with the joys of sense that come from the lingering caresses and clinging kisses. Cold-blooded statesmen, such as Parnell, have lost the leadership of their party and have gone down in history with a clouded name because of the fascination exercised upon them by some woman, often far from beautiful, and yet possessing the mysterious power which makes the triumphs of statesmanship seem slight in comparison with the swiftly flying hours of pleasure.The love story of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony has most attracted the fancy of poets, dramatists, novelists, and painters, from their own time down to the present day. But that story is not the only one. Let us now discover the most legendary love affairs of all times.

Download or read book Antony Cleopatra written by Charles River Editors and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes famous art depicting Antony, Cleopatra, and important people, places, and events in their lives. *Discusses the mysteries still surrounding the suicides of Antony & Cleopatra. He was one of the most unique and best known figures of antiquity, a man whose relationships with some of history's giants ensured his own legacy. She was a legendary figure even to contemporary Romans and the ancient world, a controversial figure who was equally reviled and praised through the years, depicted as a benevolent ruler and an evil seductress, sometimes at the same time. Together they created one of history's most famous and tragic love stories, all while shaping the fate of the ancient world. A protege of Julius Caesar's, a sworn enemy of Cicero's, and a foil for Octavian, Mark Antony has long been remembered for the role he played in others' lives more than for his own accomplishments. While Antony's relationships with Rome's most famous leaders and history's most famous woman were central components in his lives, the fact that his legacy has been intertwined with them belies the fact that he was a powerful man in his own right. Coming up as a capable and competent military man who Caesar trusted as his right hand, Antony parlayed that into governing Rome itself while Caesar fought Pompey. After Caesar's assassination in 44 B.C., Antony deftly navigated from tenuous footing as a declared enemy of the state to become one of Rome's two most powerful leaders, arguably its most powerful, in just a matter of years, outmaneuvering and getting the best of enemies like Brutus and Cicero. At the same time, Antony was notorious in his own time for his voracious appetite for vice, and the branding of him as a boor has persisted for over 2,000 years. Over 2,000 years after her death, everything about Cleopatra continues to fascinate people around the world, from her lineage as a Ptolemaic pharaoh, her physical features, the manner in which she seduced Caesar, her departure during the Battle of Actium, and her famous suicide. And despite being one of the most famous figures in history, there is still much mystery surrounding her, leading historians and archaeologists scouring Alexandria, Egypt for clues about her life and the whereabouts of her royal palace and tomb. Of course, Antony & Cleopatra has become the stuff of legends and countless plays, movies, and art, with their romance continuing to endure as history's most famous love story. Antony & Cleopatra: History's Most Famous Romance provides an entertaining and informative look at the facts and myths surrounding history's most famous lovers and their tragic story. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Antony & Cleopatra like you never have before, in no time at all.

Book excerpt: LIMITED TIME PROMOTIONAL PRICE | REGULAR PAPERBACK PRICE: $16.99 In the history of the ancient world there is one woman who towers above all others in her legacy, influence, and historical significance. Even in modern times, her name is synonymous with exotic beauty, luxury and excess. But more importantly, her story is one that is intimately connected to some of the most powerful figures in history and to major historical events that have forever shaped our world. She is the last pharaoh and Queen of Egypt: Cleopatra. A timeless reputation for seduction and murder Cleopatra's legend is rich and multi-faceted. She was a woman widely known for her epic powers of seduction and for using every tool at her disposal, even murdering her own family, to get her own way. Since Cleopatra's death some 2,000 years ago, she has been depicted as everything from a victim, a romantic heroine, a competent ruler of Egypt, and a merciless killer. The fervent propaganda, myth, and fantasy surrounding Cleopatra has served to distort the real story of Cleopatra, which is often no less spectacular than any of the myths that many have been duped into believing. What do you really know about Cleopatra? Cleopatra's life may be long over, but her influence and her symbolism still looms large in our collective consciousness. Those who truly know her story have no difficulty understanding the unwavering public fascination with Cleopatra. She was a young girl who inherited one of the most powerful kingdoms in the ancient world and faced head-on all the vast power of the Roman Empire. Not to mention the fact that she seduced not one but two of Rome's greatest generals, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, before dying tragically by her own hand. Learn the myths and the real historical facts! Cleopatra's life and times has been told and retold throughout the ages by some of history's greatest names including Plutarch, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. Most people derive their understanding of Cleopatra primarily through the lens of pop culture. But this doesn't tell us the whole story.
