«De teves a meves» is a collection of 32 short stories by Pere Calders, published by Laia in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
The stories in this volume start from everyday situations and take them towards the unusual, with a measured absurdity presented with an air of normality. Fantasy and irony act as a filter to create a «calderià» universe, a distorted mirror of our own, populated by surprising characters and settings.

For readers of short fiction and fantastical narrative with irony, as well as for discovering the prose of Pere Calders.
