Description

Robert Graves's magnificent reconstruction of the grandeur, folly and vileness of Imperial Rome.

Into the racy 'autobiography' of Clau-Clau-Claudius, the pitiful stammerer who was destined to become Emperor in spite of himself, Graves packs the everlasting intrigues, the depravity, the bloody purges and mounting cruelty of the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, soon to culminate in the deified insanity of Caligula.

I, Claudius and Claudius the God, are among the most celebrated, as well as the most gripping historical novels ever written.
