An Elephant for Aristotle

An Elephant for Aristotle

What finer way for Alexander the Great to honor his old tutor Aristotle than to send him an actual Indian elephant.

After capturing a magnificent specimen from an Indian ruler, Alexander tasks Leon of Atrax, a cavalry commander, to deliver the animal to Aristotle in Athens.

Leon leads a motley crew of companions (and the elephant) from India to Greece, and in the process encounter all sorts of dangers and adventures while completing the long and arduous journey.

â€œAn amazing narrative vehicle for the display of ... a fairly complete composite of the life and times of which the author writes.â€â€”The Chicago Daily Tribune

"By hybridizing a Middle-Eastern travelogue with an Alexandrine comedy of manners, the author has produced a specimen only slightly less rare then elephants in Westchesterâ€“to wit, a historical novel with a sense of humor.â€â€”The New York Times

â€œEngaging new novel.â€â€”The Washington Post
