«Invasió subtil i altres contes» is the short story collection by Pere Calders, published by Educaula in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
The stories show Calders's view of reality: humor, irony and a certain pessimism about human behavior. His agile prose, full of linguistic discoveries, uses imagination and fantasy to question the apparent normality of everyday life.
The book was originally published in 1978 and won the Lletra d'Or in 1979. This edition, no. 11 in the Educació 62 collection, includes a preliminary study and didactic proposals by Joan Martínez Sala.
Aimed at readers aged 14 and over and at students working on the stories in the classroom, thanks to the included didactic material.
