Synopsis "Yo, Claudio (in Spanish)"

Encuadernación: RústicaColección: 13/20Llegado a los últimos años de su vida y temeroso de caer asesinado víctima de una conspiración, el emperador Claudio (o «Clau-Clau-Claudio», o «Claudio el idiota») decide consignar por escrito su larga y azarosa vida desde los días en que gobernaba su tío abuelo Augusto, a cuya sombra su esposa Livia movía los hilos del poder. En esta novela inolvidable vemos desfilar delante de nosotros todo el esplendor y miseria de los primeros años del Imperio Romano, embarcado muy pronto en una espiral de conspiraciones, crueldad y violencia bajo los reinados del taciturno Tiberio y del extravagante Calígula. Lectura apasionante desde su primera línea, Yo, Claudio es sin duda una de las cinco mejores novelas históricas de todos los tiempos.

Robert Graves (Wimbledon, 1895 – Deià, Mallorca, 1985) was a British writer, poet, and essayist whose work ranges from war poetry to historical novels and mythological essays. He participated in World War I, an experience he depicted in his autobiography Goodbye to All That (1929). He studied at Oxford and was a professor of English literature at the University of Cairo. In 1929, he settled in Deià, Mallorca, where he lived for most of his life. His literary output includes more than 140 works, noted for their erudition and narrative style.

Among his most recognized works are I, Claudius (1934) and its sequel Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina (1943), historical novels that were successfully adapted for television. In the field of essays, notable works include The White Goddess (1948) and The Greek Myths (1955), where Graves offers a reinterpretation of classical mythology from a poetic-anthropological perspective. These works have been influential in the study of mythology and comparative literature.
