In the Basque country of the Pyrenees, where the Bidassoa runs down to Spain, Ramuntcho lives by night-time smuggling across the border and wins fame at pelota in the village square. He loves Gracieuse, but his fatherless birth and her mother’s opposition stand between them, and military service takes him away from the mountains he belongs to.
A melancholy, richly atmospheric novel of 1897 that made the Basque country famous to French readers. Download the free EPUB.
