Nice to see that the Seanhenge library is still growing.
ReplyDelete[...] and the number of shelves. ;-)
DeleteThank you, Mark.
Quin recull més interessant, Sean!
ReplyDeleteCom a escriptors de contes curts, els meus preferits són Pere Calders (extraordinari) i Mercè Rodoreda. I no vull pas dir que els altes no m'agradin. Víctor Català, Joaquim Carbó, Pep Albanell... tots m'agraden. I de Jacint Verdaguer he llegit poesia, però em sembla que mai cap conte. Queda pendent. Els buscaré.
Una abraçada.
Yes, this book is a treasure trove, Carme. It introduces me to some authors I didn't know before.
DeleteVerdaguer's story is the first in the book: "El mariner de Sant Pau".
Una abraçada!
Un bon recull i una bona compra!
ReplyDeleteDe tots, els que he llegit més són d'en Pere Calders, de la Mercè Rodoreda i d'en Jacint Verdaguer.
Aferradetes, Sean.
In 1979, the book was the first to feature stories by Catalan authors in German. At that time, I mainly read Irish, English, American and South American authors. So I am all the more delighted to be able to read this book 46 years after its publication.
DeleteAferradetes, Paula.
Per a mi el millor és Pedrolo.
ReplyDeleteQue xula la foto!
After reading his Vita, I am also curious about Pedrolo.
DeleteI am glad you like the photo, Helena. A typical ‘Beers & Books’ photo.
There are always more excellent stories, aren't there.
ReplyDeleteThis does not lack of correctness, Mimi. ;-)
