«De teves a meves» is a collection of 32 short stories by Pere Calders, published by Barcanova in paperback (234 pages, in Catalan).
The 32 stories start from common scenes and characters and veer into the unusual, with twists that disorient the reader. Calders combines humor and irony and builds unexpected endings that invite reflective reading and keep the surprise alive.
Work originally published in 1984; this 1995 edition is part of the Biblioteca Didáctica de Literatura Catalana collection, edited by Carme Barberà.
It is suitable reading for those who want to approach Catalan short fiction and the work of Pere Calders, with a didactic focus.
