The
Basque History of the World
by Mark Kurlansky
The buzz about the Guggenheim Bilbão aside, the Basques seldom get
good press--from the 12th-century Codex of Calixtus ("A Basque or Navarrese
would do in a French man for a copper coin") to current news items about
ETA, the Basque nationalist group. Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod, sets
out to change all that in The Basque History of the World.
"The singular remarkable fact about the Basques is that they still exist,"
Kurlansky asserts. Without a defined country (other than Euskadi, otherwise
known as "Basqueland"), with no known related ethnic groups, the Basques
are an anomaly in Europe. What unites the Basques, above all, is their
language--Euskera. According to ETA, "Euskera is the quintessence of Euskadi.
So long as Euskera is alive, Euskadi will live." To help provide a complete
picture of the Basques, Kurlansky looks at their political, economic, social,
and even culinary history, from the valiant Basque underground in World
War II to medieval whalers to modern makers of the gâteau Basque. The
most affecting chapter focuses on Guernica, a small market town bombed
by German planes for over three hours on April 26, 1937, and uses interviews
with survivors to illustrate the horror of the attack.
Kurlansky is clearly enamored of the Basques, which leads him to see
them in a uniformly positive light. That rosy outlook aside, The Basque
History of the World is an excellent introduction to these romantic people.
Are they the original Europeans? Kurlansky doesn't weigh in on the issue,
preferring instead to honor the Basque request Garean gareana legez--let
us be what we are. --Sunny Delaney - Amazon.com

Houses
and Palaces of Andalusia
by Patricia Espinosa De Los Monteros, Francesco Venturi (Photographer),
Phipps, Patricia Espinosa De Los Montero
With riches from New World conquests pouring into Seville in the 16th
to 18th centuries, the Spanish nobility of Andalucia built exquisite houses
and palaces. This book chronicles the finest of these treasures, traces
the development of a distinctive regional style of architecture and decoration-
the beautiful tiles, dramatic staircases and doorways, columns, and arches,
and the cool exterior patios that are so integral to Spanish building.
Many of these homes are miraculously preserved with their authentic interiors
intact, and a fascinating text tells the stories of the families that built
and lived in them. The Publisher.
