Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Turms Immortal (or The Etruscan in some editions) is a historical novel written by Mika Waltari in 1956. Set in 500s BC, it follows the adventures of Turms, a refugee of seemingly unknown origins as he embarks on a journey that will lead to his transformation, both mundane and spiritual.As with The Egyptian, the story is told via a framing device of Turms remembering his past life from the story's end-point where the protagonist recounts his many journeys across the ancient world, whilst undergoing a psychological (or in this case, spiritual) change.The story of Turms begins as he makes his way to the Oracle Delphi to be judged for a crime against the gods, namely setting fire the temple of Cybele and thus inciting the uprising of Ionian Greeks against the Persian Empire. From then on Turms embarks on a journey across the world of the ancient Mediterranean. Visiting Anatolia, Magna Graecia (modern-day south italy and Sicily) and the budding city of Rome, before arriving at the land of the mysterious Etruscan civilization.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The novel is one of Waltari's more notable works, though unlike The Egyptian which is down to earth, Turms Immortal is notable for having significantly more supernatural elements; fittingly so, as it's main focus is mankind's relation with spirituality, fate, the divine and one's own inner potential. | |

Bittersweet Ending: After wandering for forty years (both physically and spiritually), Turms finally returns to his home city of Clusium and recognises himself/is recognised as a Lucumo. While he rules for many decades and brings great peace and prosperity to his city, the time of the Etruscans is coming to an end and even his powers cannot prevent it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
