Cleopatra was charming and commanding, with the art of oratory and a magical voice. She was well educated and spoke several languages fluently. The diaries of Cleopatra, written by Margaret George, tell the life of the Nile’s queen with all its tragic and happy moments. In the second book, "The Fallen Queen," she appears as a strong person—capable of accepting the inevitable with dignity. After Caesar’s death, Cleopatra returns to Alexandria and strives to build a powerful empire strong enough to stand against Rome. She meets the Roman commander Mark Antony on a luxurious ship with colorful sails and wins his heart—but nothing lasts forever.
