Synopsis

This is the Catalan-language edition of Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories. Young Haroun sets out to save his father Rashid's storytelling gift after it dries up overnight, discovering that all the world's stories flow from a hidden ocean on a second moon — one that a silence-worshipping tyrant is determined to poison for good.

The story works as a straightforward adventure for younger readers, with an undertone about censorship and the value of storytelling for readers who look closer.
