Lo rondallayre, Tercera série : Quentos populars catalans by Maspons i Labrós
"Lo rondallayre, Tercera série: Quentos populars catalans" by Maspons i Labrós is a collection of short stories and folktales written in the late 19th century. The book gathers a range of Catalan popular tales, often rooted in oral tradition and folklore, featuring a variety of protagonists such as clever youths, enchanted animals, humble villagers, and figures from myth and legend. The stories are designed to entertain and impart moral lessons, reflecting themes
of wit, perseverance, fate, and transformation. Readers interested in traditional folk narratives or the cultural heritage of Catalonia would find this work particularly engaging. The beginning of the collection introduces several stories, each with distinct characters and fantastical situations. Tales include the adventures of Pere Revolt, a lively young man who finds himself caring for a magical castle before escaping with the help of an enchanted donkey; the trials of a boy who repeatedly bargains with the devil, each time learning the value of cleverness and caution; the quest of three royal brothers to win the throne through challenges involving magical animals and an enchanted princess; and the misadventures of a simple youth, Joan, whose literal-mindedness inadvertently brings his family fortune. Also present are brief, cumulative tales such as "La rateta," and wisdom stories like "Los tres consells de Salomó," where practical advice leads to prosperity and happiness. Overall, the stories in this opening section offer a vibrant sampling of Catalan folktale motifs, blending humor, magic, and lessons in morality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
