Narracions estranyes : $b ¡Oydà! - L'ull acusador - L'embaixada de la mort

A humble son of Sant Feliu, raised by hard‑working farmer parents, tells his own story with plain honesty and a touch of wry humor. He was set on the loom’s craft, not on grand ambitions, until love for the spirited Tereseta swept him away and a village rite of passage demanded that he pass the “quinta” before any blessing could be given.

Seeking his future, he journeys to bustling Barcelona, where an elderly shopkeeper named Matías greets him in a cramped, dimly lit stall brimming with odd trinkets. The city’s authorities are hunting anyone dabbling in superstition, and Matías tests the newcomer with a baffling puzzle of counted lines and strange verses, blending folk belief with a solemn ritual. The encounter pulls the narrator into a world where ordinary labor, forbidden magic, and layered tradition collide, setting the stage for a tale that balances everyday life with an unsettling, otherworldly curiosity.
