  • Fuoco dal cielo (titolo orig. Fire from Heaven) è un romanzo storico di Mary Renault, pubblicato nel 1969. Incentrato sull'infanzia e la giovinezza di Alessandro Magno, è stato una delle maggiori ispirazioni per il film Alexander di Oliver Stone. Ha avuto due seguiti: Il ragazzo persiano del 1972, che narra la conquista di Alessandro dell'impero persiano, e Giochi funerari del 1981, che racconta la conseguenze della sua morte, col lento disgregarsi del grande impero alessandrino. Il romanzo è stato finalista del "Lost Man Booker Prize", un premio attribuito retrospettivamente nel 2010 per quei libri che, in seguito a un cambiamento di regole, non poterono mai essere candidati al Booker Prize.
