«El Cafè de la Granota» is a collection of fourteen short stories by Jesús Moncada, published by Educaula in paperback (176 pages, in Catalan).
In an old café in the former Mequinensa, on the banks of the Ebro, a chronicler listens to and notes down the stories of the regulars, especially those of the elderly Cristòfol, the living memory of the town. With humor, irony and social criticism, Moncada recreates village life and portrays colorful characters and improbable situations.
This edition is part of the Educació 62 collection (volume 14) and includes an introductory study and work proposals by Hèctor Moret, as well as a digital resource.
Edition aimed at secondary school students and readers aged 14 and over, with teaching materials for working on the book in the classroom.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
