'Based on a popular legend in Gansu, the far western province of China, The Tortoise in Asia recounts the exploits of Marcus, a young Roman centurion schooled in the Greek classics who, after a devastating loss in a battle with the Parthians, is taken prisoner, marched along the Silk Road, and pressed into service as a border guard on the eastern frontier. After a daring escape, Marcus has many adventures working with the Hun army as a mercenary. Throughout this harrowing journey, Marcus learns about Chinese philosophies, uncovering the startling similarities between these philosophies and those of Greece' (Wombat Hollow website)

'Jane Campion’s The Piano achieved critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993 and followed up by winning three Academy Awards. Piano Lessons is a provocative collection of essays examining the critically acclaimed film. An assembly of international academics, drawn from film and cultural studies disciplines, offers a unique examination of the film through diverse approaches–auteurist, feminist, psychoanalytic, post-colonial, melodrama and romance.'
