Cleopatra by Jacob Abbott.
"The story of Cleopatra is a story of forbidden love—its uncontrollable impulses, its intoxicating joys, its reckless course, and the dreadful ruin in which it invariably ends."
Cleopatra's right to the throne of Egypt was disputed, and so she bided her time and learned how to use her charm to get whatever she wanted. She eventually seduced both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and acquired the throne of Egypt. However, her charms were not enough to keep it, and in fact Cleopatra succeeded in tearing the empire apart and dooming the men she bewitched.
This thrilling biography—written by Jacob Abbott and newly edited for younger readers—offers a glimpse into the life of the greatest femme fatale in all history.Copyright Popular Culture and Religion. Arte Mondiale Scienze sociali Storia e critica della letteratura

    12 - The End of Cleopatra. Cleopatra by Jacob Abbott.
    Cleopatra is a history and biography book written by Jacob Abbott and originally published in 1851. It focuses on the figure of the ruler Cleopatra and the cultures of ancient Greece and Egypt.

    "The story of Cleopatra is a story of crime. It is a narrative of the course and the consequences of unlawful love. In her strange and romantic history we see this passion portrayed with the most complete and graphic fidelity in all its influences and effects; its uncontrollable impulses, its intoxicating joys, its reckless and mad career, and the dreadful remorse and ultimate despair and ruin in which it always and inevitably ends..."
