Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In The Basques: People of the Western Pyrenees, Elliot Rowan explores the remarkable history of one of Europe's most ancient and enduring peoples. Rooted between the rugged western Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay, the Basques preserved a distinctive language, culture, and sense of community through the rise and fall of empires, medieval kingdoms, religious transformation, industrialization, dictatorship, and the creation of the modern European state system. Drawing on archaeological discoveries, classical accounts, medieval chronicles, legal records, and surviving cultural traditions, Rowan traces the Basque story from prehistoric settlement and the mystery of Euskara to encounters with Rome, the Kingdom of Navarre, the famous ambush at Roncesvalles, and the development of the fueros that protected local rights and self-government. He follows Basque shepherds, ironworkers, merchants, sailors, and whalers across centuries of change, from Atlantic expeditions to Newfoundland and Labrador to the industrial transformation of Bilbao and the emergence of modern Basque nationalism. More than a history of a people living between Spain and France, this book examines the extraordinary persistence of identity across more than two millennia. Through war, political centralization, the bombing of Guernica, the Franco dictatorship, and the eventual restoration of regional autonomy, the Basques repeatedly adapted without abandoning the traditions that distinguished them. Their story reveals that the measure of a civilization lies not only in the empires it creates or the territories it conquers, but also in its ability to preserve language, memory, and belonging across the immense passage of time.
