Enigmes Populars is a collection of riddles and mind games compiled by Joan Amades. This facsimile edition reproduces the original 1934 publication by the publisher "La Neotípia". The book is part of the "Biblioteca de Tradicions Populars", number 33, and offers a look at Catalan popular culture through its enigmas and riddles.
Joan Amades i Gelats was a Catalan ethnologist and folklorist. An autodidact, he worked at the historical archive of the city of Barcelona and at the Museum of Industry and Popular Arts of the same city. From 1956 onwards, he collaborated with UNESCO. He was also an important promoter of Esperanto and founded the Federació Esperantista Catalana. Perhaps the most important book in his large bibliography is Costumari Català, the main work for the study of Catalan popular culture.
