Book Description:
Aquest llibre inclou una selecció de textos aportats per participants en la campanya @donantsdeveu de 2021. Inclou principalment una selecció de les Llegendes catalanes publicades el 1881 per Maria del Pilar Maspons i Labrós sota el pseudònim Maria de Bell-lloc. Aquest recull de llegendes constitueix un treball no prou valorat dins la tradició literària catalana. Maria del Pilar Maspons recollí i reelaborà un corpus de llegendes amb un mètode que avui anomenaríem "etnogràfic", parlant amb gent del poble pla, a la guisa dels treballs dels germans Grimm i molts altres folcloristes europeus. Complementa el recull Sa mare de Sant Pere, una narració de Joaquim Ruyra i Oms inclosa en la seva obra La parada.

This book includes a selection of texts recorded by participants in the @donantsdeveu campaign of 2021. It includes a selection of the Catalan Legends published in 1881 by Maria del Pilar Maspons i Labrós under the pseudonym Maria de Bell-lloc. This collection of legends has not been sufficiently valued in the Catalan literary tradition. Maspons collected and reworked a corpus of legends with a method we would now call "ethnographic", by speaking to ordinary people from the countryside, in the manner of the Brothers Grimm and other European folklorists. The collection is complemented by Sa mare de Sant Pere 'St. Peter's Mother', a narration by Joaquim Ruyra included in his book La parada 'The Stopover' . -- Summary by Joan Pujolar
