A SUNDAY TIMES AND TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR'Monumental and vividly imagined . . . a fitting tribute to a city that has survived, changed and grown for so many centuries'Daily Telegraph'Wonderfully entertaining . . . written with vim and vigour'Sunday Times'Lively and engrossing . . . Issa has brilliantly illuminated the history of a great city'Literary ReviewA city drawn in sand.Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.'A multifaceted history of an enthralling city'Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, author of Persians: The Age of the Great Kings'A cornucopia of fascinating details, every page revealing a new delight'Paul Strathern, author of The Medici

Alexandra-sviten
En av de senaste decenniernas stora svenska romantrilogier i en volym»Sviten om Alexandra är en stor prestation, både litterärt och rent psykologiskt. En början till vad som kan bli något i stil med Cora Sandels Alberte-svit.« Tommy Olofsson, Svenska DagbladetAlexandra bor med sin mamma, sin mormor och morfar och gamlamormor. Hon leker, hon drömmer, lär sig skriva och läsa. In i hennes värld kommer Ivan - mammas nya man. Alexandras nya pappa. Och för att få behålla en pappa måste man vara snäll. Man får inte säga emot. Absolut inte kissa på sig. Men en pappa som inte får det han vill ha - han tar och tar och tar...När Alexandra är sjutton år finns Ivan kvar i familjen, en kvävande närvaro. Steget till att berätta om vad han gör när ingen annan är hemma är stort och svårt. Och allt blir inte bättre när hon försöker. Skulden och skammen finns kvar.I tre uppmärksammade romaner - Alexandras rum [1994], De ensammas hus [2004] och Vägar utan nåd [2006] - går Alexandra från barndom till sena tonår. Det är en smärtsam och gripande skildring av barnets utsatthet och kampen för att ta tillbaka ett eget liv; personlig, allmängiltig och, trots allt, fylld av hopp och obändig livskraft.Romansviten presenteras här i en volym, med förord av Anna Jörgensdotter.ANNA FOHLIN MATTSSON, född 1966, har givit ut både poesi och romaner och verkat som översättare från bland annat färöiska och khmer. 2024 utkommer Anna Fohlin Mattssons nya roman, en fristående fortsättning på Alexandra-sviten.»Hennes roman är en storrengöring i det svenska folkhemmet och den träffar som ett knytnävsslag.« Eva Ström, Kulturnytt om Alexandras rum »De ensammas hus är en storartad berättelse, som på ett skickligt sätt låter oss ta del av både hopp och hopplöshet. Språket är njutbart, tidvis skimrande.« Kristian Lundberg, Skånska Dagbladet
Lykophron: Alexandra
Traditionally ascribed to the early third-century BCE tragedian Lykophron, the Alexandra is a powerful Greek poem by an unknown author, probably written c. 190, when Rome had defeated Hannibal and the Carthaginians and was poised to humble the Seleukid king Antiochos III. The poem is an ingeniously constructed masterpiece, a generic mix with elements of tragedy, epic, and history. Priam's beautiful daughter, the prophetic Kassandra, foresees her rape in Athena's temple by the hateful Greek warrior Ajax after Troy's fall, and warns of disastrous returns (nostoi) for all the Greek 'heroes'. But Troy will rise again as Rome, founded by Trojan refugees. Alexandra (another name for Kassandra), narrates these Mediterranean foundation myths, adopting a bitterly disillusioned female perspective, but culminating in prophecies of Roman rule over land and sea.
