About this listen

Occupying a small corner of Spain and France, the Basque people truly believe they should live in their own private country - and in this engaging history, best-selling author Mark Kurlansky explains why.

Evidence of 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. In this illuminating exploration, Kurlansky captures the lives of the Basque people and their culture. Listeners will be enthralled as Kurlansky delves into the roots of an intriguing population, detailing their entire history from their language Euskara - the most ancient in Europe - and economy to their culinary tastes and social life.

I wish everyone would read this. Most people know nothing about the Basques and we should.. it’s good to know Spain isn’t a democracy and some Basques resorted to violence because of that and all they want is what we take for granted. The fact that they’re still there shows they’re tougher than the rest of us and the fact that most people know nothing about them shows how much we have to learn.

It’s good to learn
