Críticas

"A disruptive romance illuminates complexities of ethnic and political identity in Saizarbitoria's substantial novel set in the Basque region in Spain. . . . a probing and sophisticated work that is already being celebrated as a modern classic." --Booklist, starred review

"A sprawling novel of post-independence movement Basque life and its discontents . . . rich in perception." --Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2016

"Martutene is probably the most important Basque novel yet to be written; this is a primus inter pares book destined to become the central piece of the new canon." --Joseba Gabilondo (Michigan State University)

"Martutene could well be considered the highest summit of Basque-language novels . . . This superb novel recalls the greatness of Tolstoy and the obsessive stylistic accuracy of Flaubert . . . It is a novel that rightfully deserves being included among the greatest novels of the twenty-first century." --Angel Basanta, El Cultural

"A landmark Basque novel. Nothing compares to it." --Jon Kortazar, Ínsula.

"Perhaps one of the best novels, if not the best, ever written in Basque language."--Suma Cultural

"Saizarbitoria is one of the greatest Basque-language writers . . . A veteran of Basque literature that has also been the first to write a modern novel." --Benito Garrido, Culturamas

"I would dare say that nobody in our literature has shown such mastery in the creation of fiction characters."--Hasier Etxeberria, Zuzeu.com.

Reseña del editor

A major work, considered the fundamental novel of modern Basque literature.

"Martutene could well be considered the highest summit of Basque-language novels. . . . This superb novel recalls the greatness of Tolstoy and the obsessive stylistic accuracy of Flaubert." Ángel Basanta,El Cultural

Set in the current Basque Country, Martutene is an ambitious and truly grand novel with a splendid array of characters: two bourgeois couples worn down by years of marriage, their group of friends, and the newcomer Lynn, a young American sociologist. An insightful portrait of the post-ETA Basque country and an exploration of those thoughts and feelings that expose our miseries and our deepest fears as human beings.
