Book Description

A modern classic of historical fiction written in the form of Claudius’s autobiography.

Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus lived from 10 B.C. to 54 A.D. Despised as a weakling and dismissed as an idiot because of his physical infirmities, Claudius survived the intrigues and poisonings that marked the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and the mad Caligula to become emperor of Rome in 41 A.D. The first part of Robert Graves’s two-part account of the life of Tiberius Claudius, I, Claudius stands as a landmark historical novel of the 20th century from one of its great writers.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Having never seen the famous 1970s television series based on Graves’ historical novel of ancient Rome and being generally uneducated about matters both ancient and Roman, I wasn’t prepared for such an engaging book. But it’s a ripping good read, this fictional autobiography set in the Roman Empire’s days of glory and decadence. As a history lesson, it’s fabulous; as a novel it’s also wonderful. Best is Claudius himself, the stutterer who let everyone think he was an idiot (to avoid getting poisoned) but who reveals himself in the narrative to be a wry and likable observer. His story continues in Claudius the God.

Review

“One of the really remarkable books of our day, a novel of learning and imagination, fortunately conceived and brilliantly executed.” —The New York Times

“Claudius unforgettably describes his imperial predecessors, famous and infamous, in Robert Graves’s glorious evocation of decadent Ancient Rome.” —Malcolm Burgess, The Guardian
