Obabakoak

Obaba is a place where reality and fantasy seem to continually merge. Through thirty-six different stories, but with a unitary thread, we get to know the lives of several characters who intersect, mix, and paint an unforgettable fresco in which there is no lack of literary theory. A mythical book that has become over time The Thousand and One Nights of the Basque Country, the fable that explains the roots and destiny of an entire community. Bernardo Atxaga received the National Prize for Spanish Letters in 1989 for this work that invites literary reflection and which, through unique narrative techniques, has become a universal work.
