It is a tribute without feudal aromas, swords or castles. It is a tribute from knowledge, conviction and respect towards a country which never gives up, which gets up everyday with the risky adventure of surviving as a nation in the middle of a cruel and sustained repression. Joaquín Navarro thinks about the force, perseverance and resistance of the most “reactionary” sectors in the Basque Country towards the rancid justice of gibbet and fetters. The passion for rebelliousness and freedom contrasts with the refusal, obstinacy and also the blunder of those who appeal to state agreements, chamber judges and invented laws to try to avoid the unavoidable. A task which is not easy at all to judge because of the events which have taken place in the last times and which are reflected with a meticulous humour in this book.
