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.

“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
