The Basque History of the World Author:Mark Kurlansky They are a mythical people, almost an imagined people, writes Kurlansky. Signs of their civilization exist well before the arrival of the Romans in 218BC. Their forbidden tongue is equally mysterious, it is related to no other, but today the Basques are enjoying what may be the most important cultural renaissance in their long existence.
A fascintaing look at people nearly forgotten in history. The Basque contribution to history is much larger than the average person would think and I for one never knew much about the Basque people.
