{"product_id":"cleopatra-last-queen-of-egypt","title":"Cleopatra: Last Queen of Egypt","description":"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?\n\nWe almost feel that we know Cleopatra, but our distorted image of a self-destructive beauty does no justice to Cleopatra's true genius. In Cleopatra, 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465018920\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0465018920.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tyldesley, Joyce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
