Antony and Cleopatra. With Henry Selous’s illustrations.

In Antony and Cleopatra, preeminent historian Adrian Goldsworthy goes beyond the romantic narratives of Shakespeare and Hollywood to create a nuanced and historically acute portrayal of his subjects. Set against the political backdrop of their time, he presents two lives lived at the center of profound social change. It is a narrative that crosses cultures and boundaries from ancient Greece and ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire. This edition is unique through the computer-based colorization of Henry Courtney Selous’s illustrations, which were originally created in black and white.
