    Александр Македонский, или Роман о боге

    Морис Дрюон

    Мориса Дрюона читающая публика знает прежде всего по саге «Проклятые короли», открывшей мрачные тайны Средневековья, и трилогии «Конец людей», рассказывающей о закулисье европейского общества первых десятилетий XX века, о закате династии финансистов и промышленников. Александр Великий, проживший тридцать три года, некоторыми священниками по обе стороны Средиземного моря считался сыном Зевса-Амона. Египтяне увенчали его короной фараона, а вавилоняне – царской тиарой. Евреи видели в нем одного из владык мира, предвестника мессии. Некоторые народы Индии воплотили его черты в образе Будды. Древние христиане причислили Александра к сонму святых. Ислам отвел ему место в пантеоне своих героев под именем Искандер. Современники Александра постоянно задавались вопросом: «Человек он или бог?» Морис Дрюон в своем романе попытался воссоздать образ ближайшего советника завоевателя, восстановить ход мыслей фаворита и написал мемуары, которые могли бы принадлежать перу великого правителя.
