Saiakera, sail bat beti auzitan

Abstract

After the three main literary genders - poetry, narrative, theatre -, the essay appears as a peculiar gender, which is yet to consolidate. But, at the same time, as the open gender it is, it constitutes a very rich section in the creative field. The same as in other peoples, readers have given a good acceptance to this field of Basque literature. Among the books with the most success over the last twenty years there are two outstanding essays: Ni ez naiz hemengoa by J. Sarrionaindia and Euskaldunak eta Espainolak by Joxe Azurmendi.
