{"product_id":"claudius-the-god-and-his-wife-messalina","title":"Claudius the God: And His Wife Messalina","description":"A modern classic of historical fiction written in the form of Claudius's autobiography.\n\nClaudius the God is the second part of Robert Graves's two-part account of the life of Tiberius Claudius, \"the cripple, the stammerer, the fool of the family\" who became Emperor of Rome in spite of himself in 41 A.D. With the same crystalline brilliance that characterizes its classic antecedent, Claudius the God evokes the vitality, splendor, and decadence of Imperial Rome at the beginning of its decline. It is not only a superb re-creation of a colorful moment in history but, through the eyes of the bemused and wry emperor, a compelling and ironic account of human nature as well.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679725733\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679725733.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Graves, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
