The Vizier of the Two Horned Alexander is a historical fiction novel written by Frank R. Stockton. The story takes place in ancient Persia during the reign of Alexander the Great, and follows the life of a vizier named Buzurjmihr. Buzurjmihr is a wise and cunning advisor to the king, and is tasked with protecting the kingdom from Alexander's invading army. Along the way, he faces numerous challenges and obstacles, including betrayal from those closest to him. Despite these challenges, Buzurjmihr remains steadfast in his loyalty to the king and his determination to protect his people. The novel is filled with action, intrigue, and political maneuvering, making it an engaging read for fans of historical fiction and adventure novels.A horrible suspicion now seized upon me. Could I have drained the contents of the spring of inestimable value? Could I, without knowing it, have deprived my king of the great prize for which he had searched so long, with such labor and pains? Of course I was certain of nothing, but I bowed before Alexander, and told him that I had found an insignificant little puddle at the place, that I had tasted it and found it was nothing but common water, and in quantity so small that it scarcely sufficed to quench my thirst. If he would consent to camp in the shade, and wait a few hours, water would trickle again into the little basin, and fill it, and he could see for himself that this could not be the spring of which he was in search.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
