Description

Robert Graves's I, Claudius is a masterful historical novel that brings to life the intrigue of ancient Rome. Written in the form of Claudius' autobiography, this gripping tale follows the fortunes of the Roman Empire through the reigns of its emperors, from the wise Augustus to the insane excesses of Caligula. As Claudius watches from the sidelines, he records the brutal purges and mounting cruelty of the imperial Roman dynasties, offering a unique and intimate perspective on the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome. With its imaginative and inventive storytelling, this novel is a racy and often comic account of the early decades of the Roman Empire.
