Catalan Stories

Hey so this is a poem I made for university and thought about posting it! So it is about a girl, Lyssa, who's in love with her best friend, Ruby, but she already loves someone else. So Lyssa also has a boyfriend who is happy with but her heart still aches for Ruby. The poem is written from Lyssa's perspective as a letter to Ruby where she explains how sees Ruby's love as painful and toxic but still wants her. Also I wanted to say that the poem may be a bit weird as the original lenguage was catalan but I translated it to both Spanish and English. Every chapter is the poem in a different language. · | · ¡Hola! Este es un poema que escribí para la universidad y pensé en publicarlo. Trata sobre una chica, Lyssa, que está enamorada de su mejor amiga, Ruby, pero ya ama a otra persona. Lyssa también tiene un novio con el que está feliz, pero aún siente pena por Ruby. El poema está escrito desde la perspectiva de Lyssa, como una carta a Ruby, donde le explica que ve el amor de Ruby como doloroso y tóxico, pero que aún la desea. También quería comentar que el poema puede ser un poco extraño, ya que el idioma original era el catalán, pero lo traduje tanto al español como al inglés. Cada capítulo es el poema en cada uno de los idiomas.

'This mortal better hurry up before I kill him for resurfacing too damn late! Yeza thought as she cut through another half breed. Yeza left her past behind to become a guardian, a post not ever held by those from hell. Even as she waits for her late charge and battles her inner demons, something worse is blazing underneath the surface. The last war didn't kill her but this time maybe, her true love won't show the same kindness.

Step into Barcelona's Modernista age-when Barcelona's main attractions were built above streets scarred by inequality. Late 19th-century Barcelona. By forces far beyond her control, seven-year-old Núria is taken into service in the household of the powerful industrialist Eusebi Güell. Uprooted from the factory colony that shaped her, she is thrusted into a world of velvet, decandence, and anarchy. Caught between two conflicting realities-the gilded palaces of a rising industrial elite and the grinding poverty of the workers who sustain it-Núria becomes a witness to a city transforming at breathtaking speed. As chimneys rise and fortunes are made, a new artistic vision begins to take shape, led by the brilliant architect Antoni Gaudí. Through Núria's eyes, experience the birth of Barcelona as both industrial powerhouse and Catalan Modernista capital-where innovation and exploitation walk hand in hand, and every triumph has a cost. Featuring iconic figures and places woven into the story: Palau Güell, the Tragic Week, Hospital de Sant Pau... and the ever-changing soul of Barcelona itself. ***To the reader: this is the first chapter of what will hopefully become a book about Barcelona in the 19th century, from the Industrial Era to the Spanish Civil War. I hope you enjoy it!***

Es hora de hablar de la realidad de Cataluña. De lo que no te cuentan. De lo que viven los que no ponen banderas en sus balcones ni salen a las calles a quejarse. De los silenciados. De las injusticias. De la opresión real, de cómo afecta el nacionalismo catalán de unos cuantos. Salgamos todos, mostrémonos. Tenemos voz, no callemos más! No permitamos que esto siga adelante sin que se conozcan nuestros testimonios!

La majoria de persones estimem malament. Aquesta és la història d'amor normal, d'un compromís afectiu breu i imperfecte. D'un amor que no sempre fa les coses per Amor sinó per Por. D'un vincle ocultat per emocions confuses i amenaçat per les circumstàncies. És una història de la recerca del respecte i la llibertat propi i de l'altra persona des de l'Amor. És una història de la lluita per la benvolença.
