In a Hundred Graves

In a Hundred Graves: A Basque Portrait by Robert Laxalt

"The Basques of Europe are legendary for the curtain of privacy they have always presented to the visitor for the outside world. As a result, accounts of the inner workings of Basque village life are almost nonexistent. In this unique book, author Robert Laxalt has managed to penetrate the deep reserve of Basque village residents. An American born of Basque parents, he unveils the Basque character with warmth, wry humor, and above all, honesty. 

Shepherds, troubadours, merchants, and smugglers parade before the reader, and are caught up in the panorama of village life. They are portrayed against a backdrop of green rugged mountains and  stone buildings typical of the Basque provinces between France and Spain."
