Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths and legends of the Basque peoples are lively adventures which shed insight on the ancient culture and spiritual traditions unique to the Basque country. Historically, the legends of the Basque region were treated as insignificant by scholars of literature and readers. Yet Mariana Monteiro, in presenting them anew for the English reader, makes a passionate case for their inclusion in the pantheon of great myths: though their narrations are simple in comparison to other legends, this is but camouflage for the deeply meaningful lessons they impart. That the Basque peoples have existed through centuries, largely escaping European wars and their devastation, is a sign that their culture remains unblemished by successive upheavals; a bulwark of the old, existing with strength against history's odds. Such is how the author frames these legends, rich in their poetic imagination and imbued by a culture that endures. The symbolism of the vivid creatures in these stories, and the apt portrayal of human nature in the narrations, are delivered amid the backdrop of the beautiful rolling hills and plains of the Basque country, its lush forests, and its mountainous fissures. The reader will be appreciative, and perhaps enchanted, by the age-old stories that emerged from this valuable corner of the Earth.

Download or read book POPULAR BASQUE LEGENDS AND TALES - 13 Children's illustrated Basque tales written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume you will find 13 illustrated Popular Tales from the Basque region of Spain. Here you will find tales like Aquelarre, Arguiduna, The Song of Lamia, the Prophecy of Lara, the Virgin of the Five Towns in which mermaids, heroes, magical horns and ghosts abound. If you have ever travelled through the province of Galicia in North Western Spain, you can’t fail to notice the Celtic influences in the region’s art and culture. So it is therefore not surprising to also find the story of Jaun-Zuria - A Prince Of Erin included in this volume. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, to a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma, or an uncle or aunt, would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents. This collection of Basque legends, fairy tales, ballads, and popular stories having their origin in the ancient traditions which formed a portion of the sacred inheritance bequeathed to the Basque people by their forefathers, and handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. These tales constitute the archives of the Basque people, the treasures of their science and of their beliefs; they are the records of the lives of their forefathers, the landmarks of the grandeur of their past history. In the midst of the great revolutions which have agitated the whole of Europe, causing radical changes, levelling to the ground or converting into ruins great empires, powerful nationalities, monuments; sweeping away languages, and even the very races themselves--the Basques have somehow passed unscathed through the many storms of devastation, preserving intact their nationality, institutions, laws, language, and customs.

Download or read book Life and Food in the Basque Country written by Maria Jose Sevilla and published by New Amsterdam Books. This book was released on 1998-04-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask any Spaniard where you will find the best food in the country and the answer is invariably the Basque provinces. In this beautifully written book, Marìa José Sevilla describes the region through the eyes of men and women whose lives embrace every aspect of its cooking and culinary traditions, and records the recipes she has learned from them. The author takes us from market to caserìo, or farmstead, and shows how the strength of Basque cuisine comes from the quality and range of local produce: superb fish from the Cantabrian coast, cheeses and wild mushrooms from the mountains, and vegetables and fruit—including apples for cider-making—from the caserìos of the valleys. Through her portraits of a fisherman, a craftsman of wooden cheese-making utensils, a wine producer, and a young city housewife, the author shows the historical influences and fierce regional pride behind this distinctive culinary repertoire. Finally, three professional chefs take us into their kitchens, and show us how their superb cooking is based on rich popular traditions. More than eighty authentic recipes punctuate evocative descriptions of cultural and culinary traditions, making this an ideal book for the inquisitive traveler who enjoys good food.
