«Històries de l'amor pagès» is the historical essay by Felip Vendrell, published by Grata Lectura in hardcover.
It gathers love and sexual stories and customs of Catalan peasants, transmitted orally from parents to children until the 20th century. It portrays marriage as a contract, the dowry, pregnancy, the quarantine, the esquellots, the matchmakers and the healers, in a rural world governed by norms, taboos, deprivations and privileges.
It is Felip Vendrell's first book, who collected for years stories and customs of rural life in Riner (Solsonès).
Work of interest for readers of ethnography, rural history and Catalan popular culture.
