I’m trying to get a hold of Mr Rtveladze’s book, Alexander the Great in Baktria and Sogdiana. Historical and Geographical stories. Since I don’t understand Russian, do you know if his book has been published in English (or French, or German, or Italian)? If so, where can I obtain a copy? Are there other articles available in any of these languages treating about the fights and routes foloowed by Alexander the Great, especially in Central Asia.
I was recently in Uzbekistan and felt very much confronted with Alexander’s past in that beautiful country.
I’ll be eternally gratefull if you can help me out – that is, if it is not too much to ask …
Thanking you on beforehand,
Kind regards,
Leonie Burger, Brussels, Belgium
Unfortunately, the book E.V.Rtveladze “Alexander’s campaign in Bactria and Sogdiana” has not yet been translated, it is only in Russian.
With respect, Nigora.
There is an Italian summary published in “Parthica 9”:
Rtveladze, E.V. “Alessandro in Battriana e Sogdiana”, Parthica 9 (2007).
Although I did not read it and have no idea how much of the original Russian publication was omitted.
