The Vizier Of The Two Horned Alexander
By Frank Stockton
Published by Cassell And Company Limited: Melbourne 1899

" The Vizier of the Two-Horned Alexander, by Frank Stockton, was published by Cassell and Company Limited in Melbourne in 1899. This imaginative and gently satirical novel exemplifies Stockton's gift for blending fantasy, adventure, and philosophical reflection. Told in his signature whimsical style, the story follows the extraordinary life of a man who claims to have achieved immortality and served under Alexander the Great, recounting his experiences across centuries of human history. Through a series of witty and often ironic episodes, Stockton explores timeless themes of ambition, morality, and the elusive search for wisdom.

Rich in storytelling charm and subtle humour, the narrative combines the feel of a classical adventure with the author's characteristic moral playfulness. As the immortal narrator moves through changing civilizations, Stockton uses his tale to comment on the follies and vanities of humankind, making the novel both entertaining and thought-provoking.

This 1899 Cassell Melbourne edition is an appealing colonial printing of one of Stockton's most unusual works, notable for its imaginative concept and polished prose. It would appeal to collectors of late Victorian fiction, enthusiasts of early speculative literature, and admirers of Frank Stockton's distinctive blend of fantasy and moral fable."
