Renault, Mary - The Alexander Trilogy Fire From Heaven The Persian Boy and Funeral Games (Published in by The Folio Society in 2013. Three volumes quarter bound in buckram with Modigliani paper sides. Printed with designs by Geoff Grandfield. Set in Haarlemmer. 1,152 pages in total. 24 illustrations in total. Book size: 9.5" x 6.5". Three brilliant novels resurrecting one of history's most mesmerising figures - Alexander the Great. Daniel Mendelsohn, New Yorker columnist introduces the first illustrated edition. Few historical novelists have ever rivalled the achievements of Mary Renault. Between 1969 and 1981, in three brilliant novels, she resurrected one of history's most mesmerising figures: Alexander the Great. The Alexander Trilogy tells his extraordinary story, from his childhood in a 'savage' backwater of Greece to his conquest of the known world and the splintering of his empire after his premature death. In these novels Renault does for ancient Greece what Patrick O'Brian did for the Napoleonic era. )
