«L'Inimitable» is Irène Frain's historical account of Cleopatra, published by Fayard in paperback (473 pages, in French).
Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, has gone down in history distorted by Rome's propaganda. Irène Frain tries to recover the real woman behind the stereotypes: a cultured and determined ruler who sought to restore Alexander's empire alongside Caesar and Mark Antony, and who was also a lover and mother. The account follows her alliances, her travels to Alexandria and her fall.
Subtitled 'Cléopâtre, femme et reine : récit', the work was originally published in 1998, in France.
For readers interested in the history of Ptolemaic Egypt, in the figure of Cleopatra and in biographies of powerful women of Antiquity.
Irène Frain is a French novelist, journalist, and historian. She is a founding member of the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society.
