Als zijn broer sterft, wordt Robert Martin in één klap miljonair. Zijn nieuwe leven begint veelbelovend. Een verliefdheid in Rome, een vriendschap in Oxford. Maar langzamerhand begint het raadsel van de steen die bij de nalatenschap de overhand krijgt. Als na verloop van tijd de steen geen steen blijkt maar een brief bevat, begint de grote speurtocht naar het onderwerp ervan. De brief gaat over niemand minder dan Alexander de Grote. In dit magistrale boek, dat leest als een avonturenroman, loopt de klassieke oudheid parallel met het leven van nu. Het thema van de tweede man, de Mentor die altijd achter de held staat, Hefaistion achter Alexander de Grote, Robert Martin achter zijn broer, zonder wie de eerste niet leven kan en niet schitteren, wordt als het ware spelenderwijs opgevoerd. Met een groot gevoel voor personages en voor dialoog schildert Doeschka Meijsing (1947) de opkomst en de ondergang van een man die altijd de tweede man zal blijven. Aleid Truijens in de Volkskrant:De tweede man is een meesterlijke roman. [...] Een roman die de waarheid in het gezicht slingert, op de illusoire wijze waarop literatuur waar kan zijn. Een gebouw dat staat en dat, als je eenmaal aan de eigenzinnige architectuur bent gewend, nog tijden meekan.' Alle Lansu in Het Parool:De tweede man is een overdonderend boek waarin veel wordt losgewoeld en waar je steeds meer in ontdekt, hoe langer je erover nadenkt.'

A unique ‘backstory’ of Alexander and his successors: the biased historians, deceits, wars, generals, and the tale of the literature that preserved them. ‘Babylon, mid-June 323 BCE, the gateway of the gods; prostrated in the Summer Palace of Nebuchadrezzar II on the east bank of the Euphrates, wracked by fever and having barely survived another night, King Alexander III, the rule of Macedonia for 12 years and 7 months, had his senior officers congregate at his bedside. Abandoned by Fortune and the healing god Asclepius, he finally acknowledged he was dying. Some 2,340 years on, five barely intact accounts survive to tell a hardly coherent story. At times in close accord, though more often contradictory, they conclude with a melee of death-scene rehashes, all of them suspicious: the first portrayed Alexander dying silent and intestate; he was Homeric and vocal in the second; the third detailed his Last Will and Testament though it is attached to the stuff of romance. Which account do we trust?’ In Search Of The Lost Testament Of Alexander The Great is the result of a ‘decade of contemplations on Alexander’ presented as a rich thematic narrative Grant describes as the ‘backstory behind the history’ of the great Macedonian and his generals. Taking an uncompromising investigative perspective, Grant delves into the challenges faced by Alexander’s unique tale: the forgeries and biased historians, the influences of rhetoric, romance, philosophy and religion on what was written and how. Alexander’s own mercurial personality is vividly dissected and the careers and the wars of his successors are presented with a unique eye. But the book never loses sight of central aim: to unravel the mystery behind Alexander’s ‘unconvincingly reported’ intestate death. And out of Grant’s research emerges one unavoidable verdict: after 2,340 years, the Last Will and Testament of Alexander III of Macedonia needs to be extracted from ‘romance’ and reinstated to its rightful place in mainstream history: Babylon in June 323 BCE. Although the result a decade of academic research, In Search Of The Lost Testament Of Alexander The Great is written in an entertaining and engaging style that opens the subject to both scholars and the casual reader of history looking to learn more about the Macedonian king and the men who ‘made’ his story. It concludes with a wholly new interpretation of the death of Alexander the Great and the mechanism behind the wars of succession that followed.

A re-assessment of Alexander the Great's death, exposing a conspiracy by Alexander's generals after his death to undermine his empire. Alexander the Great conquered the largest empire the world had ever seen while still in his twenties but fell fatally ill in Babylon before reaching 33 years old. His wife Roxanne was still pregnant with what would be his only legitimate son, so there was no clear-cut heir. The surviving accounts of his dying days differ on crucial detail, with the most popular version claiming Alexander uttered ‘to the strongest’ when asked to nominate a successor on his deathbed. Decades of ‘civil war’ ensued as Alexander’s hard-won empire was torn asunder by generals in the bloody ‘funeral games’ his alleged final words heralded in. The fighting for supremacy inevitably led to the extermination of his bloodline. But was Alexander really so short-sighted and irresponsible? Finally, after 2,340 years, the mystery is unravelled. In a forensic first, David Grant presents a compelling case for what he terms the ‘greatest succession cover up of all time’. Alexander’s lost Last Will and Testament is given new credibility and Grant deciphers events that led to its erasure from history by the generals who wanted to carve up the empire for themselves.

In de historische thriller De drie paradijzen van Robert Fabbri ontaardt de strijd om de opvolging van Alexander de Grote in meedogenloze intriges en bloedige gevechten. Voor fans van Game of Thrones. In De drie paradijzen, het tweede deel in de Alexanders erfenis-serie van bestsellerauteur Robert Fabbri, heeft het grote en machtige Macedonische Rijk door de plotselinge dood van Alexander de Grote opeens geen leider meer. Als de strijd om de opvolging ontaardt in meedogenloze intriges en bloedige gevechten is niemand – man, vrouw of zelfs kind – meer veilig. Er worden oorlogen uitgevochten te land en ter zee, en beloften worden enkel gedaan om bijna meteen weer verbroken te worden. Ondertussen komen diep weggestopte geheimen aan het licht in het onderzoek naar de ware toedracht van Alexanders dood. Werd hij vermoord en zo ja, door wie? Heeft hij opzettelijk verdeeldheid gezaaid door te weigeren een erfgenaam aan te wijzen? En wie zal uiteindelijk de macht over het rijk in handen krijgen, áls het al blijft bestaan... De Alexanders erfenis-serie is net zo monumentaal, bruut en bloedstollend als de Vespasianus-serie, waar Robert Fabbri eerder al veel lezers op het puntje van hun stoel liet zitten. Zijn filmische stijl en zinderende spanning doen denken aan series als Game of Thrones.

Geologists, physicists and ecologists currently promote the idea of a post-Holocene epoch – the Anthropocene. As a result of constant innovation and modernisation in the fields of engineering, natural science, management studies and environmental studies there has been a growing awareness of the intrinsic interaction between humankind and the environment. Humankind has become part of the environmental dynamics, to the extent that they are literally able to change ecosystems. Nowhere is the impact more evident than in the anthropogenic engagement with the hydrosphere – from the smallest pool of water to the earth’s atmosphere. Comprehensive infrastructure development in water and sanitation, the growing trend to seek additional resources in the form of groundwater, desalinated seawater, and recycled wastewater, as well as special attention being given to capturing and preserving rainwater, bear evidence of a timely response to climate change, population growth and rapid development in many water-stressed regions of the world. The purpose of the book is to provide a historical overview of the manner in which South Africa’s water resources have been governed from a time when the Union of South Africa was formed, in 1910, up to 2008, a time of a growing global awareness of the potential impact that climate change may have on water resources in a key region of southern Africa, notable for increasing levels of aridity and more erratic rainfall patterns. This focus on the history of water affairs in South Africa makes it possible for scholars to comprehend the contemporary transitions made in the country’s water governance system since the establishment in 2014 of the Department of Water and Sanitation. The focus is on the Water–Energy–Food nexus, a strategy which holistically contemplates the governance and use of water from the perspective of the interconnection between water, energy and food as resources.

The literary tradition surrounding the Macedonian conqueror is rich, contradictory and complex. Much of what we know comes from the history of Quintus Curtius, who wrote a history of Alexander in the first century AD. Baynham explores Curtius' historical style and his presentation of the legendary king. She examines his use of ancient sources, and discusses why Curtius chose to preserve the information about Alexander that he did. She demonstrates that his work was a carefully planned narrative, and that he was not only interested in presenting Alexander as a clever ruler and accomplished tactician, but also as a human subject to the whims of chance, of fortuna .

In de historische thriller De verlaten troon van Robert Fabbri worstelen de volgelingen van de vermoorde Alexander de Grote om de macht in eigen hand te houden. Deel 3 in de Alexanders erfenis-reeks. In De verlaten troon, het derde deel in de Alexanders erfenis-serie van bestsellerauteur Robert Fabbri, blijkt dat Alexander de Grote niet plotseling is gestorven, maar meedogenloos is vermoord. De vraag is: wie is de moordenaar? Terwijl zijn volgelingen worstelen om de macht in eigen hand te houden, worden vriendschap, familiebanden en politieke loyaliteit flink op de proef gesteld. Nooit eerder werd het westen zo geplaagd door chaos en bedreiging voor de beschaving. Levens, steden en legers worden stuk voor stuk vernietigd door wraakzuchtige aanstaande koningen. Of koninginnen. Zou een huwelijk de enige oplossing kunnen zijn om harmonie in het Rijk te brengen? De Alexanders erfenis-serie is net zo monumentaal, bruut en bloedstollend als de Vespasianus-serie, waar Robert Fabbri eerder al veel lezers op het puntje van hun stoel liet zitten.
