Recollections and Anecdotes: Being a Second Series of Reminiscences of the Camp, the Court, and the Clubs (1863)

Rees Howell Gronow

Two thousand years before Dante, Michelangelo and the Medici of the Renaissance, the extraordinary Etruscans civilized central Italy.
3 generations of the ambitious Porenna-Laris clan
2 powerful rival cities threaten to tear apart this noble family
1 mysterious Flutist guides their journey to the afterlife.
Meanwhile, The Great Prediction heralds doom.
Amidst pestilence, tyranny, deceit and murder, sophisticated Etruria prospers. Magnificent temples, sumptuous dwellings and roads with arched bridges dot the land. Men revere women. Women own property. Couples eat together at banquets wearing fashionable tunics and stylish leather shoes, while the rest of the cosmos goes barefoot. Wealth, wisdom and artistic beauty abound. Opulent tombs provide for eternal contentment. Praise the gods! Glory to the Etruscans!
Rosalind Burgundy brings the unique Etruscans to life in the stirring epic
Song of The Flutist
