This collection of poems by Joan Alcover reflects the cultural and linguistic landscape of early twentieth century Catalonia. The language is lyrical and rhythmic, often drawing on traditional folk motifs and imagery. Because it is poetry, the vocabulary is rich and occasionally archaic, which may challenge learners. The sentences are structured to fit a poetic meter, leading to inversions and complex phrasing. It is a rewarding read for those interested in the musicality of the Catalan language and its historical literary traditions.

Questions about this book
What level of Catalan do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 59 min at a native pace, spread over 46 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
