A Book of Lost Songs

In the late 13th century, a young Basque monk, Itzal, is sent on a seemingly meaningless mission- to gather the melodies to Troubadour songs. His qualifications? His ability to navigate the many languages of Provence, his crude knowledge of transcribing music, and his guitarra Latina.There' s danger everywhere - from the Church, local authorities, and outlaws scattered throughout the ruined beauty that the land once was. They hear epic tales of the great outlaw, La Lobita, the woman warrior fighting northern invaders. In "A Book of Lost Songs," Itzal and his companions face peril in the mountains, where the greatest danger awaits. This picaresque tale, shot through with echoes of troubadour poetry, follows one man' s journey and disillusionment in a world of brutality.
