Book synopsis

The Etruscan civilization-one of the three most powerful of the 6th-century B.C. Mediterranean world (the other two being Greece and Carthage)-were all flourishing even while Rome was still in its infancy. Though not as mysterious as popularly thought, the more obscure aspects of Etruscan civilization were nonetheless fascinating as they increasingly reflected a subtle and spontaneous form of art.The cultural refinement of this people, who so vividly expressed their passion for life, and drew its inspiration from the cradle of Italian civilization, instils in us a high ideal of human genius.Latinist and Roman historian Jean-Noèl Robert, is working on a history of mentalities. He has written a dozen works published by Les Belles Lettres, including Les Plaisirs à Rome, and is the editorial director of the "Guide Belles Lettres des civilisations" Collection.
