«De teves a meves» is a short story collection by Pere Calders, published by Barcanova in paperback and in Catalan.
The book brings together 32 stories in which the everyday becomes the setting for the extraordinary: ordinary characters experience absurd and surprising situations presented as if they were normal. Calders’s fantasy and irony create a new universe that works as a mirror of our own.
The work belongs to the Antaviana Jove collection, within Clàssics Catalans (no. 37), from Barcanova; it was originally published in 1984.
Aimed at a young audience and at those who want to discover Pere Calders’s short fiction, with ironic humour and absurd situations.
