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.
