«Yo, Claudio» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (568 pages, in Spanish).
The work is presented as the supposed autobiography of the Roman emperor Claudius, a man undervalued by his family who ends up becoming ruler against his will. Throughout the narrative, it reconstructs the grandeur and misery of imperial Rome, with the intrigues, purges and cruelty of the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, culminating in the madness of Caligula's era, all told in prose that combines classical erudition and imaginative vigour.
First volume of Robert Graves's Claudius series, continued by «Claudio el dios y su esposa Mesalina» (L 5516). Spanish translation by Floreal Mazía. Belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo - Literatura collection, number 5515.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and biographical fiction set in classical antiquity, as well as for those who want to learn the origin of the famous BBC television adaptation.
