BOOKCLUB: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz ZafĂłn

BOOKCLUB: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz ZafĂłn

Sun, Jun 7, 9:30 AM
From Paris Book Club 📚
4.8

Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book :) Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals from its war wounds, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julian Carax. But when he sets out to find the author's other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence. Soon Daniel's seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.

Books & Coffee: Books about Book Lovers

Sun, Jun 14, 2:00 PM
From The Dreamers' Classic Book Club
5.0

As summer and vacation hopefully get us into more reading, let’s dive into the world of stories about readers, bookworms, and people consumed and obsessed by literature 📚✹ A theme dedicated to books and novels about book lovers, hidden libraries, forbidden texts, literary mysteries, and the strange power books can have over the people who read them! The idea is to explore stories about people obsessed with literature, books and stories, people we recognise within ourselves, while sharing recommendations, discoveries, and personal favourites within this theme. Bring along a favourite read, a recent discovery, or a long-time classic you’d love to share and discuss with the group. (Physical copies are always welcome for our little group photo tradition! 📚✹) (This is a themed book club, so there’s no required reading. Just come ready to talk, recommend, reflect, and discover new perspectives together. Discussions are in English.) **P.S. This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~** đŸŒč

Diner des Mots Passants l Mon refuge et mon orage d'A. Roy

Diner des Mots Passants l Mon refuge et mon orage d'A. Roy

Thu, Jun 18, 6:00 PM
From Club de lecture - Les Mots Passants
4.9

Dans ce rĂ©cit littĂ©raire d’une infinie beautĂ©, c’est toute la puissance romanesque de la grande autrice indienne du Dieu des petits riens que nous retrouvons avec dĂ©lice. Arundhati Roy revient sur son enfance dans le Sud de l’Inde, Ă©levĂ©e avec son frĂšre par Mary, mĂšre cĂ©libataire et combative, adulĂ©e de toute la rĂ©gion pour avoir montĂ© une Ă©cole. PersonnalitĂ© publique adorĂ©e donc, mais mĂšre atroce et abusive une fois la porte refermĂ©e, cette figure maternelle double fut toute sa vie son refuge et son orage. Discussion autour d'un diner. Venez en ayant lu l'Ɠuvre du jour. Chaque participant paie sa consommation.
