The Persian Boy"It takes skill to depict, as Miss Renault has done, this half man, half Courtesan who is so deeply in love with the warrior." The Atlantic Monthly The Persian Boy traces the last years of Alexander's life through the eyes of his lover, Bagoas.

"It takes skill to depict, as Miss Renault has done, this half-man, half Courtesan who is so deeply in love with the warrior."-The Atlantic MonthlyThe Persian Boy traces the last years of Alexander's life through the eyes of his lover, Bagoas. Abducted and gelded as a boy, Bagoas was sold as a courtesan to King Darius of Persia, but found freedom with Alexander after the Macedon army conquered his homeland. Their relationship sustains Alexander as he weathers assassination plots, the demands of two foreign wives, a sometimes-mutinous army, and his own ferocious temper. After Alexander's mysterious death, we are left wondering if this Persian boy understood the great warrior and his ambitions better than anyone.

Almost great
Color: Black
Watch is well made, and has mineral crystal, not plastic. It fits nice and is comfortable. The bad is that the watch has virtually no luminous qualities and the day and date is hard to read. Other than that it is a great value if you can get by with the small characters on the watch face. The crown is not screw down and can occasionally pull out so the time changes

Good little watch, bear in mind the price point that it is at that though.
Color: Black
The design I love. It’s minimal, not flashy, but good looking all around. It is a matte black finish, which looks pretty good. The glass definitely seems to be scratch resistant in the first couple days I’ve been wearing it. not 100% precise with setting the time with the dial, but after a couple times, I got it to be right on point. It has stayed on time the last couple days. However, if you look at the price point of this item, it is cheap. The material does feel high-quality, not made of the Chineseium that you’d find on crap these days. The date and day of the week, however, seem to be stuck, and some of the days that I saw by manually reversing the hands were misspelled. If you’re not bothered by those things, this seems to be a good watch for the money. Just keep in mind it’s not perfect.

"Stylish and Functional Guess Wallet!"
This is a fantastic wallet that combines style and practicality! The sleek black design features the iconic Quattro G monogram print on the leather (or faux-leather). It has a contrasting stripe with the "GUESS" logo on the front, giving it a modern and sophisticated edge.
Despite its slim, compact silhouette, it offers great organization. It typically includes multiple card slots, slip pockets, a clear ID window, and a full-size bill compartment, providing ample space for all your essentials while keeping a flat profile in your pocket.
Many customers appreciate the durable material and the high-end look without the high-end price. It often comes in a gift box, making it an ideal present for any occasion. Overall, it's a stylish and functional accessory that reflects the brand's fashionable legacy.

Best wallet ever!
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Red
Great wallet! Super slim, holds all my cards perfectly, not that I ever have cash to put in it anyway. At this point, it’s basically a stylish card organizer that reminds me I’m broke every time I open it. Still, it looks good, feels durable, and makes me look like I have my life together, until the card gets declined.
