DUBLINESES, de James Joyce

Sun, Sep 20, 4:00 PM

From Club lector.

4.7

***Dublineses*** (en inglés, *Dubliners*) es una colección de quince relatos cortos del escritor [irlandés](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irlanda "Irlanda") [James Joyce](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joyce "James Joyce") escritos entre 1904 y 1907, pero publicada tras diversas vicisitudes en 1914. Los quince relatos, que en principio habían sido doce, constituyen una representación [realista](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realismo_literario "Realismo literario"), y aun [naturalista](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalismo_(literatura) "Naturalismo (literatura)"), en ocasiones sutilmente burlona, de las clases media y baja irlandesas en el [Dublín](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubl%C3%ADn "Dublín") de los primeros años del siglo XX. En estos relatos, Joyce trata de reflejar la «parálisis» cultural, mental y social que aquejaba a la ciudad, sometida secularmente a los dictados del [Imperio británico](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperio_brit%C3%A1nico "Imperio británico") y de la [Iglesia católica](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iglesia_cat%C3%B3lica "Iglesia católica"). IMPORTANTE: Se ruega que los que se apuntan a venir presencialmente a la sesión, confirmen que van a venir mediante un RSVP. Todos aquellos que, máximo 24 horas antes de la sesión, hayan confirmado su participación y no se presenten, serán expulsados del grupo.

Barcelona Journaling Circle: Memoir

Wed, Sep 16, 5:00 PM

From Backstory English Bookshop - Events

4.7

Held at [Backstory: The Studio](www.backstorybookshop.studio) — our bookshop's brand-new third place — this is the first of a two-part journaling workshop. You can find this programming — and much, much more — on our website. **To pay for the course — and see much more programming — you can also go to the [official course page](https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/barcelona-journaling-circle-memoir-558e43): [https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/barcelona-journaling-circle-memoir-558e43](https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/barcelona-journaling-circle-memoir-558e43)** **Workshop 1 (Sept. 16): Back to School: The Years That Shaped Us (Marusha)** With the new year energy that September brings, we’ll revisit the teachers who changed us, friendships that defined us, embarrassing moments, first loves (and heartbreaks), and the tiny details our minds chose to keep. Together we’ll explore why certain memories stay, why they matter – and how writing about them helps us understand the people we’ve become. **Workshop 2 (Sept. 30): Back to School: The Gold You Left Behind (Oliver)** With the new year energy that September brings, we’ll dig back into childhood: the things we loved doing before we learned to stop. The drawing, the singing, the building, the daydreaming, the games we played for hours and then quietly dropped because someone said it was silly, impractical, or not who we were supposed to be. Together we’ll explore what got left behind, why, and what it might mean to pick some of it back up. ## About Marusha Mozolevskaya Marusha is the visionary behind the BJF concept. A passionate journaler and writer herself, she first dreamt of a cozy industry event in Barcelona, which she’s happy to call home, and then – BOOM! – it grew into a festival. Marusha is also the founder of the Girls Who Write platform and the Naked Words journaling circle in Barcelona. ## About Oliver Mann Oliver created Shadow Journaling after feeling frustrated that so much journaling advice never gave the depth he needed. Through studying Jung, Robert Johnson, Debbie Ford, Nathaniel Branden, Kay Adams, and Gloria Kempton, Oliver found a thread that helped him, and later his students, go gently into the shadow, with a light, with support, and the confidence that we will grow. Shadow Journaling is about listening to the unheard you.

Free by Lea Ypi

Fri, Oct 2, 4:00 PM

From Reading Women Book Club

4.9

**Join us for our September book club discussion of *Free* by Lea Ypi, followed by coffee or drinks nearby.** We’re kicking off the second half of this year’s reading list with Free: Coming of Age at the End of History, a memoir by Lea Ypi about her childhood in communist Albania and her coming of age during the country’s turbulent transition to capitalism. Intelligent, captivating, and often very funny, the book moves through family secrets, childhood misunderstandings, and political upheaval while exploring our ideas about freedom. **Please note that, exceptionally, our September meeting will take place on Thursday, October 2, rather than on the last Friday of the month.** The location will be announced closer to the date, once we have a better idea of the number of attendees, so please RSVP if you’re planning to join us. As always, we’ll continue the evening with a casual get-together over coffee or drinks nearby. **New readers are always welcome!**

Club de Lectura - La asistenta Freida Mcffaden 📖👀

Fri, Sep 18, 4:30 PM

From Cafetería La Xarradeta ☕️🍷🍪🧁

4.0

📚 Primera sesión de nuestro Club de Lectura: La asistenta ¡Ponemos en marcha nuestro Club de Lectura! Y para empezar hemos elegido La asistenta, de Freida Mcfadden, una novela que se ha convertido en todo un fenómeno entre los lectores y que recientemente dio el salto a la gran pantalla con una adaptación cinematográfica estrenada en 2025. 🎬📖 La idea de esta primera sesión es muy sencilla: juntarnos en la cafetería, tomar algo y empezar el libro juntos. No hace falta que hayas leído todo el libro ni que vengas preparado con grandes reflexiones. De hecho, queremos que sea una primera toma de contacto tranquila y que cualquiera pueda unirse. Si ya tienes el libro y te apetece adelantarte un poco, puedes venir habiendo leído el prólogo y los primeros capítulos. Y si todavía no lo tienes o prefieres empezar con nosotros, durante la sesión leeremos juntos el prólogo y algunos de los primeros capítulos. Después comentaremos las primeras impresiones, qué nos han parecido los personajes, las cosas que nos hayan llamado la atención y, seguramente, empezaremos a hacer nuestras propias teorías. 👀 No necesitas ser un gran experto en literatura: solo tener ganas de leer, compartir y conocer a otras personas amantes de los libros. 💬✨ 📍 La Xarradeta (Carrer d’Andrade 4, 08018, Barcelona) 📅 Viernes 19, septiembre 🕒 18:30 - 20:00 ¡Nos vemos en la primera sesión!

**Book club for LGBT+ English-speaking transplants in Barcelona. In October we’re reading: TRUST, by Hernan Diaz** This technically isn't LGBT-themed, but we are more than our gayness!
