Summary

During this dialogue between Michel Labèguerie and father Pierre Lafitte, the latter, after recalling that he had been orphaned by father and mother from the age of seven, tells of the evolution of his ideas. He also tells of how and why from being a "maurrassien" he became a democrat under the Monsignor Mathieu´s influence. Says that thanks to Monsignor St-Pierre he became interested in the Basque language and people. This text demonstrates the Michel Labèguerie´s deep admiration for father Lafitte, this "living encyclopaedia", who went to bed every day at two o´clock in the morning and that has influenced several generations. The interview also reveals the similarity of the points of view on the events in the southern Basque Country.
