This book explores traditional religious beliefs and folklore in Catalonia. Written in the late nineteenth century, the text uses a distinct, older style of Catalan that reflects the rural speech of the time. You will encounter archaic vocabulary and descriptive, rhythmic sentences that capture the atmosphere of coastal life. The narrative focuses on local legends and the passing of traditions between generations. It is a demanding read for learners due to the specific regional dialect and the historical linguistic nuances present throughout the prose.

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 33 min at a native pace, spread over 35 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
