BOOKCLUB: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

BOOKCLUB: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

Let's get together with a coffee or drink and discuss this book :) * Address to be announced via WhatsApp. * Limited spaces to ensure a nice discussion. Please only join if you can attend. * **Confirmation and Location via our Whatsapp group :)** About the book: **'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil'** Published as a *shilling shocker*, Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with *damnable young man* Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. * [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15994498-dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15994498-dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde)

Ce soir, dans le cadre du cycle gĂ©nĂ©ral, nous avons votĂ© : **1 - "Le Portrait de Dorain Gray d'Oscar Wilde** "Alors qu'il rend visite Ă  son ami peintre Basil Hallward, Lord Henry rencontre le jeune Dorian Gray. EmerveillĂ© par sa jeune beautĂ© et sa naĂŻvetĂ©, il se lie rapidement d'amitiĂ© avec lui et dit, en plaisantant, qu'une fois le portrait terminĂ©, seul celui-ci gardera Ă  jamais cette beautĂ© tandis que Dorian vieillira peu Ă  peu...." Babelio **2 - "Une journĂ©e d'Ivan Denissovitch" d'Alexander Soljenitsyne** "...Des Ɠuvres monumentales ont succĂ©dĂ© Ă  ce joyau : le Premier Cercle, le Pavillon des cancĂ©reux, AoĂ»t Quatorze et ce requiem colossal qu'est l'Archipel du Goulag ; pourtant, c'est toujours Ivan Denissovitch qui revient le premier Ă  la mĂ©moire dĂšs qu'on nomme Soljenitsyne. RĂ©cit, dans sa version intĂ©grale, de la douloureuse expĂ©rience du maçon Denissovitch dans le camp Solovetski. Cette description crue du goulag a fait sensation dĂšs sa parution..." Babelio ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmĂ©s.*** **Pour les prĂ©sentations d'auteurs :** \- Margot nous fera une prĂ©sentation d'Oscar Wilde pour donner du contexte Ă  nos discussions ; \- Mariona nous parlera d'Alexander Soljenitsyne pendant une dizaine de minutes\. **Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :** \- Mariona fait le focus sur l'oeuvre de "Une journĂ©e d'Ivan Denissovitch" ; \- Je fais le focus de "Le Portrait de Dorian Gray"\. Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marquĂ©s, touchĂ©s, et qui vous semblent importants Ă  partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»rs d'ĂȘtre de la partie. Bien Ă  vous tous, bonnes lectures aussi, et Ă  bientĂŽt ! JĂ©lila PS : la participation pour des raisons de frais liĂ©s Ă  Meetup (240 euros par an) est de 2 euros par personne et par an. Mais elle reste facultative !

Édition 51: La Marque de Frida Isberg

Édition 51: La Marque de Frida Isberg

Sat, Nov 7, 4:00 PM
From Les lectures d’ailleurs
4.9

Pour notre prochaine rencontre, nous lirons *La Marque,* premier roman de la jeune auteure islandaise Frida Isberg. CouronnĂ© par le Prix des libraires et nominĂ© pour de nombreux grands prix en Islande, *La Marque* est une dystopie polyphonique glaçante de rĂ©alisme et terriblement actuelle. ReykjavĂ­k, Islande. Dans une sociĂ©tĂ© divisĂ©e, en perte de sens et de confiance, un test d’empathie, gage de fiabilitĂ© morale, est mis en place. Les personnes non marquĂ©es – n’ayant pas rĂ©ussi le test ou refusant de s’y plier – sont petit Ă  petit mises au ban de la sociĂ©tĂ©, se voyant refuser l’accĂšs Ă  un emprunt, Ă  certains postes, voire Ă  certains quartiers. Il ne reste dĂ©sormais plus que quelques jours avant que le test ne devienne peut-ĂȘtre obligatoire pour tous. Quelques jours dĂ©terminants pour Vetur, Eyja, Tristan et Óli, pris dans l’engrenage d’une sociĂ©tĂ© divisĂ©e, aux rĂšgles du jeu explosives. InsĂ©curitĂ©, dĂ©mons du passĂ©, ambitions politiques, addiction, chacun doit lutter, Ă  sa façon, dans une course effrĂ©nĂ©e contre la montre. Merci d'avoir lu le livre avant la rencontre afin de partager vos impressions, sentiments et pensĂ©es. À la fin de la sĂ©ance, nous choisirons collectivement la prochaine lecture et, pour ceux qui veulent, nous poursuivrons la discussion autour d’un petit dĂźner dans un restaurant.
