What finer way for Alexander the Great to honor his old tutor Aristotle than to send him an actual Indian elephant? *** After capturing a magnificent specimen from an Indian ruler, Alexander tasks Leon of Atrax, a cavalry commander, to deliver the animal to Aristotle in Athens. *** Leon leads a motley crew of companions (and the elephant) from India to Greece, encountering all sorts of dangers and adventures while attempting the long and arduous journey. *** "An amazing narrative vehicle for the display of a fairly complete composite of the life and times of which the author writes."-The Chicago Daily Tribune *** "By hybridizing a Middle-Eastern travelogue with an Alexandrine comedy of manners, the author has produced a specimen only slightly less rare then elephants in Westchester-to wit, a historical novel with a sense of humor."-The New York Times

It's great because she too little to understand all the little old-timey racist stuff peppered throughout these book so I don't have to have any awkward conversations about why Willy Wonka enslaved an entire indigenous colony of tiny black people and used them as test animals, or why the president's phone confuses all the Wangs and Wongs in China.
All joking aside, they really are fun books!. If you need to know the difference between "Urbs Beata Hierusalem" and "Urbs Sion Aurea", this is the book.. It helps you to eat normally . Great resource manual for anyone reconstructing traffic crashes. When we in America against the odds produce a really good textbook it's a wonderful thing. The one weakness is that not enough authors are included! Perhaps, Leonard Marcus will treat readers to additional interviews soon. The his/herstories really changed my outlook on past and present movements in Black politics.
This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn more about the evo
