Bernardo Achaga, whose real name is José Irasu Garmendia, is a talented Basque writer whose works have been translated into many languages.

In Memoirs of a Cow, the main character is Mo, a black cow who, despite the popular saying: "There is no stupider creature in the world than a stupid cow," is quite intelligent. She has an inner voice that likes to tease her, but at the same time helps her cope with the problems that arise on her life path. This insecure animal is not proud of being a cow, she is dissatisfied with her identity and would rather be a cat or a horse.

Despite her belief that creatures like her lead monotonous lives, she nevertheless decides to write a memoir, prompted by her inner voice, to leave something behind in this world. Mo begins to recount her memories of the post-war period, describing the life of cows at that time. He talks about his relationship with the stupid cows who only think about eating and sleeping; with his friend La Vache qui Rit, who wants to be more than just a cow; and about his shared experience with the French nun Pauline Bernardet.

With this memoir, the author offers an original perspective on life. Everyday things appear in an interesting and unexpected way. Through the mouth of a cow, Bernardo Achaga introduces us to the history, culture, and nature of the Basque Country.

The Ukrainian reader is invited to plunge into this unique special world, to go through this journey together with the characters, to be surprised and delighted, to experience their emotions, to discover new facets of reality.
