The book brings together brief narratives that recover the author's childhood and youth memories in the Catalan strip of Aragon.

For readers of contemporary Catalan fiction interested in the rural and popular memory of the Aragonese strip.
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-.
