The Basque History of the World The Basques are one of Europe's oldest people, with a mysterious past and a unique language that sets them apart from the rest of the world. Despite being a relatively small population, they have had a profound impact on global history, from pioneering whaling and cod fishing to leading the way in exploration and trade. This book tells the fascinating story of the Basques, weaving together human stories, economic, political, literary, and culinary history to create a compelling picture of an intriguing people. Mark Kurlansky's engaging narrative explores the complex and often contradictory nature of Basque identity, revealing a rich and complex history that spans centuries.
