About This Book
Thirty-two lyrical vignettes celebrate the Empordà landscape through personal recollection, topographical description, and local custom. The narrator intertwines family memory and rural routines—notably evening irrigation—with seasonal cycles, village life, and agricultural detail, while invoking classical and poetic references. Structured as numbered graces, the pieces move between intimate memoir and wider cultural observation, offering reflective portraits of terrain, climate, folk practices, and the rhythms that shape community identity.
