History is an authentic compilation of events and facts. Literature is an echo of the soul which is dependent on imagination but is an understandable and analytical record of the realities of life. 'Alexander the Great' is one such work of Chandrashekhar Pathak which on one hand reflects the life and character of Alexander and on the other hand is the historical story of Alexander's bravery. The shape and nature of the book embodies the biographical genre.Writing history is not an easy task. The writer has to study the facts in depth and churn the ocean of thoughts to find useful words and then he has to weave a garland of creation keeping in mind the relevance of the thread of his imagination. Undoubtedly Mr. Pathak has been through this entire process.Alexander, son of Philip, born in Greece, is called the great. In Indian history, Emperor Ashoka and Mughal ruler Akbar have also been honored with the title of 'Great'. This has happened because of his thoughts and public welfare thinking. Shri Chandrashekhar Pathak has done a comprehensive and in-depth study and analysis of Alexander's life and written it in the form of a biography in an impressive style.
