But soon the attacking armies of Vandals, Goths, and Persians grow to fear and respect the name of one man, Belisarius: horseman, archer, swordsman, and military commander of genius. As Belisarius triumphs in battles from the East to North Africa, his success causes him to become regarded with increasing jealousy and suspicion. In his palace in Constantinople the Emperor Justinian, dominated by his wife Theodora, plots the great general's downfall. Written in the form of a biography by Belisarius's manservant, this epic historical novel portrays him as a lone man of honor in a corrupt world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeven Stories' \u003cb\u003eRobert Graves Project\u003c\/b\u003e spans fourteen titles, and includes fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult, and children's books, in a striking new uniform design, with new introductions and afterwords. \u003ci\u003eCount Belisarius\u003c\/i\u003e joins our recent re-publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Reader Over Your Shoulder\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLawrence and the Arabs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Fleece\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHomer's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e.
