評分never a history book can be so funny:)
評分巴斯剋語可能比拉丁古希臘語更加古老,巴斯剋捕鯨人是哥倫布的先驅,巴斯剋人是比肩猶太民族的精明商人,巴斯剋省份是西班牙的經濟支柱,也是全世界米其林星級餐廳人均密度最大的地區。但是一般人印象裏的巴斯剋卻隻是好戰的分裂主義和麻煩製造者。到底西班牙政府和巴斯剋反對派孰是孰非?這個偏安一隅人數寥寥的民族又何以保存和傳承自己獨特的文化和語言?作者並不企圖完整記錄巴斯剋的曆史,而隻試圖站在巴斯剋人的角度去掃除偏見,去延展知識,去闡述巴斯剋與西班牙、與歐洲、與美國以及整個世界的聯係。作者毫不掩飾自己吃貨的個性,每一章都附有巴斯剋特色食譜。好讀,有料,妙趣,推薦!

評分My father-in-law once told me that the old boy heading Goldman Sachs has a perfect recall of everything he has ever read; well, no wonder he has this pained and discombobulated look that sometimes can be quite terrifying; used mr.K's book as a sample test; the writing is playful and whimscial and deliciously decadent! call me a sucker!
Straddling a small corner of Spain and France in a land that is marked on no maps except their own, the Basques are a puzzling contradiction-they are Europe's oldest nation without ever having been a country. No one has ever been able to determine their origins, and even the Basques' language, Euskera-the most ancient in Europe-is related to none other on earth. For centuries, their influence has been felt in nearly every realm, from religion to sports to commerce. Even today, the Basques are enjoying what may be the most important cultural renaissance in their long existence.
Mark Kurlansky's passion for the Basque people and his exuberant eye for detail shine throughout this fascinating book. Like Cod, The Basque History of the World blends human stories with economic, political, literary, and culinary history into a rich and heroic tale.
Among the Basques' greatest accomplishments:
• Exploration-the first man to circumnavigate the globe, Juan Sebastián de Elcano, was a Basque and the Basques were the second Europeans, after the Vikings, in North America
• Gastronomy and agriculture-they were the first Europeans to eat corn and chili peppers and cultivate tobacco, and were among the first to use chocolate
• Religion-Ignatius Loyola, a Basque, founded the Jesuit religious order
• Business and politics-they introduced capitalism and modern commercial banking to southern Europe
• Recreation-they invented beach resorts, jai alai, and racing regattas, and were the first Europeans to play sports with balls
