Master of the World
He saw his life only as an endless conquest, thought himself invulnerable. He keeps haunting our imagination.

The Blue Tiger of the Euphrates, in other words, Alexander the Great. One might think he is a character straight down from Olympus as his acts, his itinerary so blatantly transcend any norm. A glutton for pleasure and art, a glutton for power as well, a conqueror of territories forever more remote, alien to the very notion of failure, he was a man feasting on the life he had lived so many times in so few years, life as he saw it and wanted it, driven by a furious desire for freedom. That is the man who emerges from the imagination of Laurent Gaudé (who was awarded 2004 the prix Goncourt for Le Soleil des Scorta). Betrayed by his army, a sick man, Alexander is now meditating, at peace maybe, and addressing death on an equal footing. At this point, in contrast with a ferocious and violent progress, the human voice is supported by melodies springing from ancient instruments tuned to contemporary rhythm. Time, or the craving for power, is not of the essence; neither is the spiral of wars. Confident in his victory, Death – owner of Time - waits.
