Alexander the Great

Alexander Macedon from childhood was distinguished by special talents.
He managed to pacify the wild horse that none of the adults could do. When the barbarians rebelled in the absence of his father, he instantly gathered an army and won. He could live in luxury, but in the early years he demanded that his bed be cruel and uncomfortable, and food is modest, like a simple warrior. His teacher was the great philosopher Aristotle.
"teach me properly, ”the young student told him on the first day,“ I want to surpass others not only by force and power, but also with knowledge of higher objects. ” And subsequently I loved to repeat: I owe my father what I live, and Aristotle - that I live worthy.
The story of the childhood of Alexander of Macedon is part of the series of books by Valery Voskoboinikov "Life of wonderful children", noted by many honorary awards, including the State Prize of the Russian Government in the field of culture
