Introduction

Bibliography
A first opportunity for English readers to sample some of the best short stories by the contemporary Catalan writer, Pere Calders. His award-winning fiction, the fruit of more than fifty years of intense literary creativity, are well-represented in this volume. Calders' 'magic realist' vision, his playful depiction of man's struggles for survival in a 20th century urban environment and his humorous tales of 'science' and the supernatural, will appeal to young and old alike.
Amanda Bath wrote her PhD thesis on the life and work of Pere Calders (Bristol University, 1984) and is currently employed as a researcher with an international human rights organization.
