“Alejandro en el fin del mundo” by Varios autores coming out in a few days

Happy Saturday everyone, I’m Elena from Italy and thanks for reading Alessandro III di Macedonia- your source about Alexander the Great and Hellenism! Today I’m telling you about a Spanish book coming out in the next few days:

Alejandro en el fin del mundo

by Varios autores

RBA Libros

Release date: October 16, 2024

Alejandro: el astro fulgurante que atraviesa el mundo Antiguo.
Hace veintitrés siglos vivió un muchacho que recibió una herencia formidable de su padre asesinado: el trono de Macedonia, la hegemonía sobre Grecia y el primer ejército profesional de la Antigüedad. Con apenas veintidós años dejó su tierra y a su madre para no volver a verlas jamás, impulsado por la ambición de apoderarse del mayor imperio del mundo, Persia. Durante once años de guerra vivió en el peligro y el combate constantes, luchó en desiertos abrasadores y en montañas nevadas, y a los treinta y tres era el mayor conquistador que ha conocido la historia, emperador de dominios tan vastos como jamás se habían visto. Había recorrido más de 20.000 kilómetros y planeaba continuar hasta el fin del mundo. ¿Cómo sería la realidad actual si hubiera conseguido su sueño? Solo podemos imaginarlo, pero veintitrés siglos después sus hazañas todavía nos asombran.

BUT

I tell you the truth, as soon as I saw this book I immediately thought about buying it, because RBA and in general the History magazine are always a guarantee of quality and excellent general information. But then I saw that it is edited by different authors and I had a doubt about its contents. A few years ago a series dedicated to Greece and Rome by various authors was also published in Italian with different volumes dedicated to Alexander the Great. I don’t know, and I would really like to know, if the contents of this book are new and unpublished or if they are taken from that old series because if it were the first case I would buy it more than willingly I want to read it, but in the second case I would prefer to avoid this purchase because I already have those volumes in Italian.

In the second case, however, anyone who missed that series which came out on newsstands a few years ago would thus have the opportunity to have it.

Grecia e Roma: gli episodi decisivi

Amazon now published the digital preview of the book and from the colophon we read that the texts are those previously released with the single volumes of the Grecia e Roma: gli episodi decisivi series. With the addition of this information I won’t buy the volume because at this point I can say that is a collection of volumes already published previously and I don’t buy them in Spanish since I have the Italian edition. However, for those who missed the series can think about buying the book and it would be an economical way to recover those releases.

I found all this information on the RBA Libros website.

As soon as I know more I will update you on it.

Thanks everyone, have a good weekend
