I, Claudius by Robert Graves Pdf

“One of the really remarkable books of our day”—the story of the Roman emperor on which the award-winning BBC TV series was based (The New York Times). Once a rather bookish young man with a limp and a stammer, a man who spent most of his time trying to stay away from the danger and risk of the line of ascension, Claudius seemed an unlikely candidate for emperor. Yet, on the death of Caligula, Claudius finds himself next in line for the throne, and must stay alive as well as keep control. Drawing on the histories of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Tacitus, noted historian and classicist Robert Graves tells the story of the much-maligned Emperor Claudius with both skill and compassion. Weaving important themes throughout about the nature of freedom and safety possible in a monarchy, Graves’s Claudius is both more effective and more tragic than history typically remembers him. A bestselling novel and one of Graves’ most successful, I, Claudius has been adapted to television, film, theatre, and audio. “[A] legendary tale of Claudius . . . [A] gem of modern literature.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Claudius, the God and His Wife Messalina by Robert Graves Pdf

A continuation of Mr. Graves's I, Claudius, but a complete story in itself and a very curious and moving one. In A.D. 41, on the assassination of his mad nephew Caligula, the learned and retiring Claudius, whom most people regarded as an imbecile, was unexpectedly acclaimed as Emperor by the Imperial Guards. He was a confirmed Republican; his first passionate refusal to reign was not taken seriously, and he gave in, chiefly because he believed that only by his doing so could civil war be avoided. The Senate accepted him, too, when it saw that he had the support of the Army, and he settled down to work at once, doing his best to reconcile his republican convictions with practical patriotism. His methods of government were unconventional because he had almost no administrative experience behind him, and he earned a great deal of ridicule, but got things done somehow.
