I, Claudius
Despised for his weakness and regarded by his family as little more than
a stammering fool, the nobleman Claudius quietly survives the intrigues,
bloody purges and mounting cruelty of the imperial Roman dynasties.
In I, Claudius he watches from the sidelines to record the reigns of its
emperors: from the wise Augustus and his villainous wife Livia to the
sadistic Tiberius and the insane excesses of Caligula. Written in the
form of Claudius' autobiography, this is the first part of Robert Graves's
brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome, and stands
as one of the most celebrated, gripping historical novels ever written.

Claudius the God
Robert Graves begins anew the tumultuous life of the Roman who became
emporer in spite of himself. Captures the vitality, splendor, and decadence
of the Roman world at the point of its decline.

Count Belisarius

They Hanged My Saintly Billy
THEY HANGED MY SAINTLY BILLY is about William Palmer, a surgeon and
racehorse owner, thief and philanderer. But was he a poisoner?

Using interviews with Palmer's friends and enemies, as well as trial
transcripts, Graves' novel has all the immediacy and passion of contemporary
life. Palmer's salty life and notorious death make compelling reading.

"My novel is full of sex, drink, incest, suicides, dope, horseracing, murder,
scandalous legal procedure, cross-examinations, inquests and ends with a good
public hanging--attended by 30,000.... Nobody can now call me a specialized
writer."--Robert Graves

The Greek Myths

mythical heroes, and the tales of Minos and Theseus, Thebes and Mycenae, and
