This novel, published at the turn of the twentieth century, offers a challenging look at rural life in Catalonia. The language is dense and rich with regional dialect, reflecting the specific speech patterns of the Montmany area. You will encounter complex sentence structures and archaic vocabulary that demand careful attention. The narrative explores themes of superstition, social resentment, and the isolation of the countryside. It is a demanding read that provides a deep immersion into the linguistic and cultural landscape of the era.

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 3 h 45 min at a native pace, spread over 20 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
