Bertold Brecht said: a person who is forced to leave his village, his family, his home is not an emigrant but an exile. The flow of life brings every day many people loaded with suitcases and stories to unknown lands. A train full of thousands of exiles also arrived in Euskal Herria, in this strange and rugged country called Vascongadas. Pulling this thread Maia has written the novel called Riomundo. A biography that could be of many Basques.
