A prize-winning memoir, a tender evocation of a world, a place and a time. Born in 1950 to sporting parents and sharing his brother's homosexuality, Peter Wells decided at the age of eleven that his family could not 'afford' two homosexual sons. The problems this led to complicated his youth but possibly gave him the creative fuel that would go on to illuminate his books and films. Through the difficulties and strains explored in this 'mosaic of a memoir' come many other voices and a transcendence over the 'inadequate ideas' of time and place. Winner of the Montana New Zealand Book Awards for biography. 'I am lifted by his verbal sorcery into a world I had almost forgotten . . . he writes with such piercing candour and self-awareness that we cannot resist identifying with him . . . it is a pivotal work.' - Robert Dessaix, Landfall

Ancient Rome had deep roots in the 'Villanovan' culture that we call today the Etruscans. Their long-lived civilization can be traced to 900–750 BC in north-west Italy. They were a sea-faring people trading with and competing against Greek and Phoenician peoples, including the Carthaginians. They were also a great land-based power, especially in the 'Classical' period, where they expanded their power north into the Po Valley and south to Latium. In the 6th century BC an Etruscan dynasty ruled Rome, and their power extended southwards to the Amalfi coast. In 509 BC the Romans rose up to expel their kings, which began the long 'Etruscan twilight' when their power was squeezed by the Samnites and, most especially, the Romans. Drawing on archaeological evidence including warrior tombs, paintings, sculptures, and fully illustrated throughout, this study examines one of the early rivals to Ancient Rome.
