«Bestea da mundua» is the novel by Joan Mari Irigoien Aranberri, published by Elkar in paperback (436 pages, in Basque).
It narrates the rise of Nazario Orbe, who from humble origins becomes a prominent figure in the industrialisation of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the parallel epic of his wife Regina Aldasoro, from not knowing Spanish to becoming a trusted maid in the palace of the Marquises of Villalba in Madrid, with prose that delves into the psychology of the characters.
First instalment of the Orbetarrak saga, published in 2008 in the Literatura collection (no. 278).
For readers of Basque literature in Basque, especially those who appreciate family sagas with a historical backdrop.
