Resumen del Editor
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Basques, then pay attention....
The Basques live in a modestly small, triangular-shaped country that straddles the farthest northeastern portion of Spain and the southeastern portion of France. While some live outside this area today, many still call this region home. These hardy people have dwelt in the foothills of the jagged Pyrenees Mountains since prehistoric times, and they’re still there to this day.
The Basques manifest a genetic makeup that is prehistorically distinct from that of their neighbors in Spain or France. This has puzzled scientists and researchers for years. A genetic study conducted by Uppsala University in Sweden in 2015 discovered that the Basques established themselves as an ethnic group during Neolithic times, anywhere from 12,000 to 4,500 years ago.
The Basques were isolated from other human migrations into Europe for millennia. Anthropologists have said that they are descendants of the Neolithic farmers who intermingled with a hunter-gatherer culture. About 850,000 pure Basques live in Spain, while 130,000 dwell in France.
In this book, a great effort has been made to present the clearest explanation possible to elucidate the history of these fascinating people.
In The Basques: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Basque Country, Starting from Prehistory Through Roman Rule and the Middle Ages to the Present, you will discover topics such as:
- The mystery of the mountain people
- The ancient mystery unravels
- The Basques under the Roman Empire
- Rule under dukes, counts, and kings
- The Middle Ages
- The Late Middle Ages
- The modern period
- The twentieth century
- Basque terrorism
- The Basque country today
- And much, much more!
So if you want to learn more about the Basques, scroll up and add it to your cart now!

The Korean Peninsula today is divided into two, but there was a time when this peninsula was divided into many states. Over the course of time, and besieged by expansive transient dynasties outside of this modest piece of land, many clans and tribes overran their lands. Of all those malicious and greedy potential overlords, none managed to prevail.

Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the 13th and 14th centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime - a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility - rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative.

The Roman Empire has been in the spotlight for ages. It has been studied, research, and taught in schools across the world. Inventions, words, vocabulary, and philosophy have been derived from those important transition in human history. The Romans were ruthless in some ways yet civilized in others. They were a peculiar people who did things differently than those they called barbarians. Their warfare, their habits, their vision of the future...these all made their empire what it became. What is that makes us so obsessed with this particular time period?

Long neglected in world history, the Ottoman Empire was a hub of intellectual fervor, geopolitical power, and enlightened pluralistic rule. Yet, despite its towering influence and centrality to the rise of our modern world, the Ottoman Empire's history has for centuries been distorted, misrepresented, and even suppressed in the West. Now Alan Mikhail presents a vitally needed recasting of Ottoman history, retelling the story of the Ottoman conquest of the world through the dramatic biography of Sultan Selim I (1470-1520).

Previous accounts of the fall of the Inca empire have played up the importance of the events of one violent day in November 1532 at the highland Andean town of Cajamarca. To some, the "Cajamarca miracle" - in which Francisco Pizarro and a small contingent of Spaniards captured an Inca who led an army numbering in the tens of thousands - demonstrated the intervention of divine providence. To others, the outcome was simply the result of European technological and immunological superiority.

Scandinavia has always been a world apart. For millennia Norwegians, Danes, Finns, and Swedes lived a remote and rugged existence among the fjords and peaks of the land of the midnight sun. But when they finally left their homeland in search of opportunity, these wanderers — including the most famous, the Vikings — would reshape Europe and beyond.

The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic Asian antithesis of the Christian European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans’ multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe’s heart. Indeed, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans’ remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, historian Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic, and Byzantine heritage.

Celebrated historian John Hirst offers a fascinating exploration of the qualities that made Europe a world-changing civilization. The Shortest History of Europe begins with a rapid overview of European civilization, describing its birth from an unlikely mixture of classical learning and Christianity and German warrior culture. Over the centuries, this unstable blend produced highly distinctive characters - pious knights and belligerent popes, and beyond - and its coming apart provided the dynamic of European history in modern times.

Korea was one of the last countries in Asia to be visited by Westerners, and its borders have remained largely unchanged since it was unified in the seventh century. Though it is one of the world's oldest and most ethnically homogeneous states, Korea was not born in a vacuum. Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainland by Japan. Calling themselves as "a shrimp among whales", Koreans borrowed elements of government, culture, and religion, all the while fiercely fighting to maintain independence.

A lot of material here!
This is material that would bear repeated listening to take it all in, keep a journal handy for short entries of dates & figures as well as a map nearby!
But for a quick & dirty summary, this volume is indispensable!

A unique people and a complex history
The Basque people are a fascinating example of how language, culture, and heritage can survive the ages in the face of wars, time, and hardship. The audiobook makes it clear how these people have managed to maintain their identity through their unique language and unity against the Romans, European powers, and ever changing economic challenges.
Telling this story does require explanations of the surrounding European power struggles among the Spanish, French, English, etc. So, at times in the middle chapters tend to lose focus on the Basques, unfortunately, to explain these various contextual conflicts.
In spite of this, the story as a whole is a wonderful overview of the Basque people, their history, and their unique language and heritage.

This was a excellent book on the history of these people. The narrator was well spoken and easy to understand. Even though it doesn’t seem like a long book I felt like I was given a great review of the past and present of this area and their culture.

A good summary
Before this audio book, I knew very little about the Basque people, culture or history. I found this audiobook to be very informative an the narration was wonderful. It is just shy of 4 hours so great to listen to in one sitting. Highly recommended.

As my first audiobook, it was a perfect selection.
Dear fellow reader, I found this book to be engaging, well written and highly detailed. The narrator was well chosen and the flow of the audible content, without hitch or skip. I have read a number of Matt Clayton's works before and have learned much from him through his approach to historical content. I recommend this book as an audible offering.

Learned So Much
Had no idea of who the Basques were and knew absolutely nothing of their history! Easy to read and follow! Loved it!

Thin, Very Thin!
This was like reading the cover sheet and asking it to supplant an encyclopedia. It is paper thin only a ghost of coverage.
