The Romans regarded her as "fatale monstrum"a fatal omen.
Pascal said the shape of her nose changed the history of the
world. Shakespeare portrayed her as an icon of tragic love.
But who was Cleopatra, really?We almost feel that we know
Cleopatra, but our distorted image of a self-destructive
beauty does no justice to Cleopatra's true genius.
InCleopatra, Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley offers an
unexpectedly vivid portrait of a skillful Egyptian ruler.
Stripping away our preconceptions, many of them as old as
Egypt's Roman conquerors, Cleopatra is a magnificent
biography of a most extraordinary queen.
