«Invasió subtil i altres contes» is the short story collection by Pere Calders, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
Pere Calders's stories show a reality governed by humour and a lightly pessimistic irony about human behaviour. With agile prose full of linguistic discoveries, imagination and fantasy end up calling into question the apparent certainties of everyday life.
Originally published in 1978, it won the Premi Lletra d'Or and the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or in 1979. Edition from the Educació 62 collection, with a preliminary study and teaching material by Joan Martínez Sala.
Aimed at the school environment, it is useful for secondary school students working on Catalan literature.
