Book Summary
Having never seen the famous 1970s television series based on Graves' historical
novel of ancient Rome and being generally uneducated about matters both ancient
and Roman, I wasn't prepared for such an engaging book. But it's a ripping good
read, this fictional autobiography set in the Roman Empire's days of glory and
decadence. As a history lesson, it's fabulous; as a novel it's also wonderful.
Best is Claudius himself, the stutterer who let everyone think he was an idiot
(to avoid getting poisoned) but who reveals himself in the narrative to be a wry
and likable observer. His story continues in Claudius the God. Considered an
idiot
