I, Claudius

AUTHOR: José Luis Alonso de Santos

Synopsis

Al morir, el viejo emperador Claudio, conecta con nuestra época, y trata de contarnos, y revivir los acontecimientos y sucesos más importantes de su vida. Al ser historiador intenta entender y poner orden en las absurdas y terribles circunstancias de su vida. Rodeado por los personajes que fueron más importantes en su historia.
La historia del emperador Claudio es un espejo de la historia de occidente, desde Roma a nuestros días, llena de crueldad, sufrimiento, sangre, locura, traición, injusticia, egoísmo, maldades y tiranías. El personaje se hace preguntas aún no resueltas: Si es posible que algún día reine entre nosotros la piedad, el amor, la bondad y la justicia.
(Obra basada en la novela de Robert Graves)
