| Summary |
"Taten des großen Alexander" by M. A. Kuzmin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and adventures of Alexander the Great, focusing on his early years, upbringing, and the magical elements that surround his narrative. Through a blend of history and fantasy, it presents the legendary figure and the significant events that defined his character. The beginning of the novel introduces the character of King Nektaneb of Egypt, who is secretly using magic to influence the outcomes of battles. As he faces impending defeat from new enemies, Nektaneb flees Egypt, leaving behind a prophecy that he will return. Following this narrative, we also learn about Olympias and her struggles with infertility, leading her to seek the help of the exiled magician Nektaneb, who promises her a child destined for greatness. This intertwining of fate, magic, and the early life of Alexander sets the stage for a grand tale filled with adventure, conquest, and the supernatural in the unfolding chapters.
