Another great biography by Marañón. His talent for research and syntopical reading doesn't shine so much in this one, due to the relative lack of sources, but his portrait of the Emperor and his pathological resentment are unforgettable.

He leído una 7ª edición ilustrada de Espasa Calpe, del año 1956. Es una buena biografía centrada en el resentimiento, que el autor explica de forma muy amena, y que abarca la rivalidad entre Claudios y Julios.

Me enganchó la forma del autor de analizar la historia del personaje tan ilustrativa y amena.
