The Etruscan | Mika Waltari

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

First published in 1956, The Etruscan is a fiction novel by Finnish author Mika Waltari. Beginning around 480 B.C., the story takes us on the spiritual journey of a young man named Lars Turms as he adventures through Ancient Greece to Sicily, Rome and, finally, Tuscany, searching for the meaning of life. He gradually becomes aware of his immortality and his duties to the future. Although set in ancient civilization, the book poses many of life�s existential questions asked to this day, and the reader will find timeless answers to these timeless questions through the main character.

The Etruscan | Mika Waltari

so-so

Turms is the hero of a mystical odyssey between 520 and 450 BC on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. Haunted by a strange amnesia, he is in search of his own identity and discovers the holy city of the Etruscans and the reason why the gods had assigned to him a key mission.
Very well documented, dense but probably too long. This is definitely for those passionate about ancient history and the divine in Etruscan culture.
