Pierre Loti / Pierre Brissaud - Ramuntcho - 1936-1938

Fascinating illustrated edition of this love novel, of tradition and regional identity that plunges the reader into the heart of the Basque Country, between the Pyrenees mountains, border villages and communities attached to their ancestral customs -

Originally published in 1897, this narrative holds a special place in Pierre Loti's work for its poetic evocation of a land he discovers with admiration and for its melancholic study of human passions confronted with social and moral constraints -

The novel tells the story of Ramuntcho, a free, proud and generous young Basque, living by small trades and smuggling between France and Spain, in a region where political borders are less strong than the cultural, familial and traditional ties that bind the inhabitants -

A character deeply attached to his homeland, Ramuntcho embodies the independent spirit of the Basque mountaineer, his courage, his love of freedom and his attachment to the landscapes that saw him grow -
