Review: Cleopatra
Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, was one of the most renowned women of human history, who through her beauty, charms and wit, changed the course of history. Jacob Abbott takes the reader into the era where the scenes of cleopatra's life actually took place. From her ancestral origin to her reigning era and finally her death, everything is narrated by the author in a way that the reader would thoroughly enjoy as though reading a mesmerising tale of an influential and exceptionally beautiful lady and how a woman's charms could divert a man's attention from his ambitions and duties. All in all it is an excellent and remarkable narrative of cleopatra's history.
