What to expect
An engaging examination of a people by the author of Salt: A World History.
Occupying a small corner of Spain and France, the Basque people truly believe they should live in their own private country—and in this illuminating exploration, the best-selling author of Salt and Cod explains why. The Basque showed up as early as 218 BC, and now, with a population of more than two million, their influence on our world has been all-pervasive. Mark Kurlansky captures the lives of the Basque people and their culture as he delves into the roots of this intriguing population. This fascinating account details their entire history including their economy, their culinary tastes, their social life, and even their language, Euskara—the most ancient in Europe.
