Cròniques de la veritat oculta (I) is a collection of stories by the writer Pere Calders, published in 1991. Calders' stories are an artifice where fantasy and a series of elements that move in the realm of dreams intervene. In this imaginary space, human behavior and events acquire a deeper meaning that leads to a reflection on the human condition.
