Alexandr Veliký – Goy David (2022)

Alexander III of Macedon, known to the world as ALEXANDER THE GREAT, was a genius military leader, strategist, and ruler who was worshipped as one of the gods... History does not spare superlatives when describing the life of the king who crossed the borders of his small country in northern present-day Greece and created the largest empire the world has ever seen. He was driven by an immense desire to unite the Greek world with the nations and cultures of the Persian Empire into one whole. However, he could not realize this dream, as his ambitious plans also raised excessive concerns. Was it so? In this adventurous comic, you will learn how everything actually unfolded. The accompanying text at the end of the book describes Alexander's life in more detail as well as the methods on which the comic was based. Understanding the lives of the giants of world history is valuable to us primarily because it opens the way to understanding the era in which they lived. But who were they really, and how and why did they enter history? In working on this book, artists and comic creators collaborated with professional historians to jointly present the life stories of personalities whose legacy is still alive today.
