This German edition of Robert Graves’ acclaimed historical novel “I, Claudius” offers a unique glimpse into the tumultuous world of ancient Rome. Originally published in 1934, Graves’ masterpiece brought the decadent and treacherous reign of the Roman emperors vividly to life through the eyes of the stuttering, bookish Claudius. Drawing from historical sources like Suetonius’ “The Twelve Caesars,” Graves crafted a richly detailed and darkly humorous portrait of the imperial dynasty, from the cunning Augustus to the mad Caligula. This hardcover edition, while lacking the iconic dust jacket artwork, preserves the gripping narrative that has captivated generations of readers and inspired acclaimed television and film adaptations. A true classic of 20th-century literature, “I, Claudius” remains a testament to Graves’ storytelling prowess and his ability to breathe new life into the distant past.
