"Mr. Graves has written a novel that is at once interesting as history imaginatively rekindled and as a parable that has its modern applications." --Current History

With the same brilliance that characterized his classic I, Claudius, Robert Graves tells the dramatic story of Claudius' thirteen-year reign as Emperor of Rome. Claudius the God shows us the splendor, vitality, and decadence of the Roman Empire through the eyes of the bemused and wry Claudius, who describes himself as a cripple, a stammerer, the fool of the royal family, whom none of his ambitious and blood-thirsty relatives considered worth the trouble of killing. Although Claudius the God is a continuation of the fictional autobiography begun in I, Claudius, it is a complete and compelling novel in itself---a book that can be enjoyed even by those unfamiliar with its companion volume.
