Book Description
The Basques are "a mythical people, almost an
imagined people," writes Kurlansky. His passion for the
Basque people-their heroes and commoners alike-and his
exuberant eye for detail shine throughout The Basque History
of the World. Like Kurlansky's celebrated book, Cod, it
blends human, economic, political, literary, and culinary
history into a rich and heroic tale.
