Gure Bazterrak (Our Land) | Anne Rearick | Deadbeat Club 2024 Gerard Malanga " - from the afterword"In the distance, there's the ocean. But here, it's the land of high, rounded mountains, of rivers, of pastures. Of those who cross, share and tend it. This land is the Basque hinterland. Straddling France and Spain, nestled between the Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay, it's a proud land of wild beauty, often fantasized about and surrounded by a mystical mist, as if to better protect it from foreign eyes."
