Kutsidazu bidea, Ixabel


In 1994 the novel "Kutsidazu bidea, Ixabel" was published for the first time. The young man from San Sebastian, Juan Martín, comes to Alkiza to improve the Basque he is learning at the Basque school. He lives in a farmhouse in Hernialde. Juan Martín feels strange among the natives of these places.

The Basque of the natives seems to him a kind of Swahili, the work in the farmhouse strange and the customs wild.

In this book written by Joxean Sagastizabal he tells us anecdotes about his protagonist with a writing full of humour. Juan Martín goes to Alkiza every day to receive Basque classes along the path that Ixabel "shows" him and we suggest you to do it too.
