Son of Zeus. In the Depths of the Ages. Hero of Salamis

Lyubov Fyodorovna Voronkova (1906–1976) — a classic of Russian literature, author of many novels and stories that captivated more than one generation of readers of all ages. The writer gained particular fame for her historical works, the best of which... are collected in this edition. First and foremost, it is undoubtedly the duology about the life of Alexander the Great: «Son of Zeus» and «In the Depths of the Ages», — perhaps one of the brightest biographies of the great commander, destroyer of cities and conqueror of lands, who proclaimed himself the son of a god. His life, full of contradictions, was directed towards a single goal — to know the entire world and become its ruler. The publication also includes historical stories by L. F. Voronkova, telling about legendary rulers and wars of the ancient world. The texts are accompanied by classic illustrations from two famous Soviet graphic artists: Igor Ilyinsky and Lev Durassov.
