THE INTIMATE SECRETS AND FABULOUS LIFE OF THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN OF ALL TIME

What was Cleopatra really like? How did she gain the power to make men and break nations—to make herself the most beguiling symbol of sex the world has ever known?

Here is a sweeping exploration of the secret life and many loves of Egypt's fabled queen—her affairs with the great Julius Caesar and the lusty Mark Antony ... the slave boys and gladiators who served her private pleasures ... the strange erotic rites she conducted as the incarnate Goddess of Love. . .

The inspiration of plays by Shaw and Shakespeare, subject of famous writers, and now the heroine of the decade's most fabulous film, CLEOPATRA comes to life as never before in this tumultuous, startlingly frank novel of a woman whose sensual appeal has never been equaled.
