Robert Graves 出版社: Vintage 副标题: From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 (Vintage International) 出版年: 1989-10-23 页数: 468 定价: $14.95 装帧: Paperback ISBN: 9780679724773
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.

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".'
Such a good book. First, we see Claudius the historian as a narrator, who presents the most secret stories of the Julio-Claudius family. This is the Claudius the author pretends to play. Second, we see the limp and stammer Clau-Clau-Claudius as an outsider...

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！

听的有声书版本，实在是笑得……把Livia描绘得跟刻薄老慈禧一样，遇事不决就放毒大A……写的有小家争斗之范而无大国治理之见，不过当通俗历史演义看一乐倒是挺好玩

通俗小说里写得最好看的那种。可惜除了开篇，还是过于平铺直叙了些，少了点reflexivity。听的是Derek Jacobi念的有声书，要补76版的电视剧和《向一切告别》。

格雷夫斯文笔太美，一下就看完了，可是写的都是宫斗，有点不太合期望，还是刷刷老爷子的回忆录吧
