baschi sono il popolo più antico d'Europa, le loro origini sono un mistero, la loro lingua non ha nulla a che vedere con nessun'altra sulla Terra e, nonostante siano pochi in termini di popolazione e provengano da un angolo remoto e aspro di Spagna e Francia, hanno avuto un profondo impatto sul mondo. Pur essendo introversi, preservando la loro antica lingua e i loro costumi, i baschi si sono anche lanciati verso nuovi orizzonti, pionieri della caccia alle balene e della pesca del merluzzo, aprendo la strada all'esplorazione delle Americhe e dell'Asia, sono stati tra i primi capitalisti e in seguito hanno guidato la rivoluzione industriale dell'Europa meridionale. Mark Kurlansky, autore dell'acclamato Cod, fonde storie umane con la storia economica, politica, letteraria e culinaria per dipingere un quadro affascinante di un popolo intrigante.
