Alejandro Magno: el destino final de un héroe
Alejandro Magno es una figura sobresaliente de la historia universal, cuyo ingenio y extravagante personalidad nunca se han olvidado. Sin embargo, y a pesar de la eterna fascinación que ha suscitado, se desconoce dónde está enterrado. La búsqueda de la tumba de Alejandro comenzó poco después de su muerte no documentada en el año 353 a. C. y prosigue hoy en día.
Esta obra no es sólo la historia de una breve y espectacular vida, también es la historia de una muerte crucial e inexplicable, de múltiples entierros y de una búsqueda que parece interminable del destino final de un hombre que llegó a considerarse un dios.

About the author
Nicholas Saunders
46 books7 followersGuru of the alternative lifestyle, Nicholas Saunders was primarily responsible for the development of Neal's Yard in London.
Nicholas spent much of the 70's writing alternative guide books, culminating in one for England and Wales. He later spent some time at a large community in Denmark from where he would often travel back to England to buy nuts and beans at considerably cheaper prices. His interest in wholefoods spurred him to move back to England and set up a series of businesses in a disused back street of warehouses into the wholefood and alternative therapy mecca it is today.
He set up a coffee house, a bakery, a dairy, therapy rooms and an apothecary. Throughout his life, his astute business sense and natural charisma ensured the success of just about every project he initiated. The innovative and original businesses set up by him are still thriving and mostly comprise what is now a delightful Bohemian corner of Covent Garden.
He had embarked on many trips researching links between drugs and spirituality and it was during one such expedition to South Africa that he was killed, age 60, in a car accident.
