Robert Graves – Count Belisarius (The Folio Society, 2010) Illustrated Edition – With Slipcase A striking Folio Society edition of Robert Graves’s Count Belisarius, one of the great historical novels of the 20th century. First published in 1938, this masterful work recounts the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius, celebrated for his loyalty, brilliance, and tragic downfall. Told through the eyes of his devoted servant Eugenius, Graves’s narrative combines rich historical detail with the intimacy of personal testimony, offering both a vivid portrait of the Byzantine Empire and a timeless meditation on power, faith, and betrayal. Content Blending meticulous research with the author’s poetic sensibility, Count Belisarius immerses the reader in the intrigue of Justinian’s court, the campaigns against Persia and the Vandals, and the complex relationships between emperor, empress, and general.
