Considered an idiot because of his physical infirmities, Claudius survived the intrigues and poisonings of the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and the Mad Caligula to become emperor in 41 A.D. A masterpiece.
Robert Graves was born in 1895 in Wimbledon, the son of Irish writer Perceval Graves and Amalia Von Ranke. He went from school to the First World War, where he became a captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers. After this, apart from a year as Professor of English Literature at Cairo University in 1926, he earned his living by writing, mostly historical novels, including: I, Claudius; Claudius the God; Count Belisarius; Wife of Mr Milton; Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth; Proceed, Sergeant Lamb; The Golden Fleece; They Hanged My Saintly Billy; and The Isles of Unwisdom. He wrote his autobiography, Goodbye to All That, in 1929, and it was soon established as a modern classic. The Times Literary Supplement acclaimed it as 'one of the most candid self portraits of a poet, warts and all, ever painted', as well as being of exceptional value as a war document. Two of his most discussed non-fiction works are The White Goddess, which presents a new view of the poetic impulse, and The Nazarine Gospel Restored (with Joshua Podro), a re-examination of primitive Christianity. He also translated Apuleius, Lucan and Suetonius for the Penguin Classics, and compiled the first modern dictionary of Greek Mythology, The Greek Myths. His translation of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (with Omar Ali-Shah) is also published in Penguin. He was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford in 1961 and made an Honorary Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, in 1971.
Robert Graves died on 7 December 1985 in Majorca, his home since 1929. On his death The Times wrote of him, 'He will be remembered for his achievements as a prose stylist, historical novelist and memorist, but above all as the great paradigm of the dedicated poet, "the greatest love poet in English since Donne".'

评分进攻手段太单一
评分An entertaining but otherwise frivolous book. (Calling it the greatest historical fiction is probably a stretch) I much prefer the depth of John WIlliam's Augustus.
评分看了一半感觉差不多了。八卦很好玩,宫斗很恐怖,不过还是有点流水账,文笔上不够生动啊……下一步必须读完通鉴,不能再崇洋媚外了!
评分语音书,好刺激。
一本精彩的历史小说,一本非同寻常的人生流水账,充满智慧和人性(有好的也有坏的,正如序言所说,好的善良可爱,坏的令人发指,但每个人物性格都如此鲜明饱满,即使只有几行描述都令人无法遗忘)。 国内只发行了上半部,这本的原文版本我在电驴上下了,求另一本的英文《claud...

评分向来不喜欢历史题材的小说,不过Robert Graves用英式幽默以及不适朗读的英语装饰过的这部小说竟有说不出的魅力。
