This collection of short stories from the early twentieth century offers a glimpse into the rural life and social customs of that era. The language reflects a period of transition, featuring older grammatical forms and regional vocabulary that may challenge modern learners. The sentences are often long and descriptive, requiring careful attention to follow the narrative flow. The themes focus on personal experiences, family expectations, and the challenges of military service, providing a grounded perspective on the daily struggles of the time.

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 2 h 26 min at a native pace, spread over 32 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
