I, Claudius is Robert Graves' riveting account of Ancient Rome in all of its madness and debauchery. First published in 1934 and written in the form of a secret autobiography, it endures as one of literature's most celebrated and compelling historical novels. Abhorred for his weakness and viewed by his family as little more than a stammering fool, the nobleman Claudius quietly survives the cruelties, bloody purges and intregues of the imperial Roman dynasties.
