Cleopatra is probably one of the most well-known women in history, right alongside Joan of Arc and many other prominent ladies who have changed the face of history as we know it.
The lesser known details of her reign, as well as her methods of seduction, philosophies and involvement in world politics, however, are seldom discussed at length. Jacob Abbott's Cleopatra is probably one of the few books that truly discusses these matters in great detail, and it is still considered accurate and well-written, despite being just about two centuries old.
Cleopatra is the story of the great ruler of Egypt, who has oftentimes instilled inspiration, respect and even fear in the hearts of her political opponents. Considered by many to be a brilliant strategist, an unscrupulous ruler, a philosopher queen, and a woman who wasn't afraid to use her unique qualities and talents to seduce her male opponents, Cleopatra's life was complex and intricate, while still many of the facts associated with her political moves and their true extent are not fully understood.
Jacob Abbott
Born in November 1803, at Hallowell, Maine, Jacob Abbott was a prolific author of juvenile fiction, brief histories, biographies, religious books for the general reader and a few works in popular science. His first books including the Young Christian; or, a Familiar Illustration of the Principles of Christian Duty (1832), were published while he was working at Mount Vernon as its principal. In 1835, he published the Little Scholar Learning to Talk: A Picture Book for Rollo which was later reissued as Rollo Learning to Talk. It became the first in the Rollo Series which had fourteen books. This series is the best known of his writings. Jacob Abbott died in 1879 in Farmington, Maine, aged seventy-five. He authored one hundred and eighty books and edited or co-authored thirty-one. His children’s series, especially Franconia stories have been praised for their depiction of children and their storytelling approach. His works continue to be widely read and acclaimed.
