This play, written in the early twentieth century, presents a realistic look at a modest household. The language is descriptive and focuses on domestic settings, which provides a practical vocabulary for learners interested in everyday objects and home life. While the sentences are generally straightforward, the text includes specific terms related to household items and furniture from that era. It is a useful read for those who want to practice descriptive Catalan in a theatrical context without overly complex grammatical structures.

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 1 h 48 min at a native pace, spread over 3 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
