El Cafè de la Granota is a seminal work of Catalan literature by Jesús Moncada. Set in the old town of Mequinensa, this collection of short stories captures the oral history and daily life of its inhabitants through a gallery of eccentric and endearing characters. With a style characterized by gentle irony and humor, Moncada portrays stories that oscillate between reality and fantasy, making this book an essential classic.
This special edition includes an afterword by Jordi Puntí and the letters that Pere Calders wrote to Moncada during the creation of these stories, offering deep insight into the author's creative process and literary legacy.
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-.
