What to expect
Cleopatra lies asleep. One white, rounded arm makes a pillar for her head. The web of her dark hair falls over her like lace. Her limbs are draped in a robe so thin that the gleam of her flesh shines through it. Her rich lips are parted in a smile.
Harmachis looks down on her, and the sight of Cleopatra's beauty strikes the young Egyptian with all the power of a mortal blow. For a moment, Harmachis aches with grief—that he should have to kill a thing so lovely!
Critics Review
“This outstanding, unabridged audiobook edition of Cleopatra is ably narrated by William Sutherland and is technically flawless in its recording.”
“[Haggard] has imagined an ingenious answer to the questions suggested by the immense ruin of Antony and the Egyptian Queen…It is no small praise to Mr. Haggard that he has painted a Cleopatra that…has intellect, power, and feminine blandishments enough to account for her victories over sages and emperors.”
“The most ambitious of the its author’s works…it endeavors to paint for us anew a figure which the imagination of the civilized world has pondered over for many centuries…thrilling.”
“[Haggard’s] most serious and his most brilliant work…not only immensely spectacular but artistically dramatic in every detail.”
