Bijou book review: Count Belisarius

by Matthew Stibbe on July 15, 2008

Cover of Count Belisarius Count Belisariusby Robert Graves is a fictional biography of a historical general. It has all the verve of I, Claudius but it is set in a much less familiar world – 6th century Byzantium and its eastern empire. Equal parts love story, military history and court intrigue, this novel is at turns exciting, moving and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
