can you really expect a language with less than a million speakers to have a great literature?
the talent pool is simply too small
if you learn Basque, do it as a hobby, because you are interested in learning a still spoken preintoeuropean european language with very different grammar.
>>8820473
No.
Basque was/is the language of illiterate peasants who live in the mountains.
How did you expect any "good Basque literature"?

Más allá de algunos poemas sueltos en euskera no sé.
Aquí no creo que encuentres nada, pero tiene que haber por ahí algún escritor nacionalista que a los abertzales y proetarras les encantará. Alguno al que le hayan dado un premio y un dinero del ayuntamiento o de la CAV.
Basque wasn't an unified language until a century ago or so. And even then they just hispanized the language a lot. Unamuno is a great Basque writer if that consoles you

>implying basques arent ayy lmaos
anyway the low number of speakers and history of francoist censorship pretty much prevented any great basque literature from being written

Miguel de Unamuno, one of the greatest Basque writers in History, said that Euskera was the language of the mud, the tongue of the peasant and the cow, unfit for literature and art
>"Los vascos me parecen más inservibles que los negros, y fíjese que los negros no han servido para otra cosa que para ser esclavos."
>"Los vascos no han hecho otra cosa en la historia que ordeñar vacas, se han pasado los siglos ordeñando vacas."

Illiterate peasants have come up with good literature elsewhere.
