Euskara. Kultura. Mundura.
The American writer and journalist Mark Kurlansky will give a lecture on July 3 in Pasaia San Pedro. The internationally renowned novelist is known to us for his best seller "The Basque History of the World" (1999). This time, he will talk about "The Basques and the Sea", as part of the San Juan Whaler project and with the support of the Etxepare Basque Institute.
In the lecture organized by DSS 2016, the author will delve into the importance of the maritime history in the Basque culture. The event will begin at 7:00 pm at Ondartxo (Ondartxoko Pasealekua 1, under, 20110 Pasaia-San Pedro), with free-entry for all the audience. Although Kurlansky will speak in English, simultaneous Euskera and Spanish translations will be offered. Listeners will have the chance to ask questions at the end of the conference.
