Bonjour à toutes et tous ! ✨ Pour notre prochaine séance de lecture 📖, nous ouvrirons un nouveau thème autour de la tristesse, du mal-être et de la dépression à travers *La Déchéance d’un homme* de Osamu Dazai 🇯🇵 À travers le récit de Yōzō, personnage profondément isolé et incapable de trouver sa place parmi les autres, Dazai livre une œuvre intime, sombre et bouleversante sur le sentiment d’aliénation, la solitude et la difficulté d’exister. Considéré aujourd’hui comme un classique de la littérature japonaise moderne, ce roman continue de toucher par sa sincérité et sa fragilité. Comme toujours, nous nous retrouverons autour d’un café ou d’un thé ☕ pour échanger librement sur nos impressions et nos réflexions, dans un esprit bienveillant et ouvert. Au plaisir de vous retrouver pour cette nouvelle lecture ✨ À très bientôt, Jade

P. Desmichel - Tricheuse (Premier roman, en présence de l'autrice) Et si le monde universitaire était en surchauffe ? Juste après sa thèse et la naissance de sa fille, Vanessa décroche une bourse d’études pour les États-Unis. Un rêve pour cette chercheuse issue d’une banlieue parisienne modeste qui, en intégrant la prestigieuse université de Chicago, va pouvoir côtoyer les pontes qui forcent son admiration et, elle l’espère, publier ses travaux au plus haut niveau académique. Proposition de lecture parallèle pour découvrir le maître du "campus novel": D. Lodge - Un tout petit monde (Best Seller des années 80) Où sont les campus d'antan où des professeurs de lettres besogneux erraient comme des âmes en peine entre les salles de cours, la bibliothèque et la salle des professeurs, l'intelligence en jachère, le cœur en sommeil ?

Eugène Onéguine - Pouchkine /La Mort d’Ivan Ilitch - Tolstoï

Eugène Onéguine - Pouchkine /La Mort d’Ivan Ilitch - Tolstoï

Sun, Jun 14, 2:30 PM
From Club de lecture - Les Mots Passants
4.9

**Eugène Onéguine - Alexandre Pouchkine** Placé du côté de la légèreté, du sourire, le roman de Pouchkine est unique dans la littérature russe : il n'apprend pas à vivre, ne dénonce pas, n'accuse pas, n'appelle pas à la révolte, n'impose pas un point de vue, comme le font, chacun à sa façon, Dostoïevski, Tolstoï, ou, plus près de nous, Soljénitsyne et tant d'autres, Tchekhov excepté... En Russie, chacun peut réciter de larges extraits de ce roman-poème qui fait partie de la vie quotidienne. A travers l'itinéraire tragique d'une non-concordance entre un jeune mondain et une jeune femme passionnée de littérature, il est, par sa beauté, par sa tristesse et sa légèreté proprement mozartiennes, ce qui rend la vie vivable. **La Mort d’Ivan Ilitch - Léon Tolstoï** "Il n'est plus possible de continuer à vivre comme j'ai vécu jusqu'à présent, et comme nous vivons tous. Voilà ce que m'ont révélé la mort d'Ivan Ilitch et le journal qu'il a laissé. Je veux donc décrire ma conception de la vie et de la mort avant cet événement, et je transcrirai son journal tel qu'il m'est parvenu." Ces lignes de Tolstoï définissent le propos qui lui a dicté ces trois nouvelles. La maladie d'un magistrat, la mort et la rédemption d'un négociant pris dans une tempête de neige, Trois morts, incarnent dans des personnages et des événements simples et poignants la même interrogation : ""Et la mort ? où est-elle ?" Il chercha son ancienne peur et ne la trouva plus. "Où était-elle ? Quelle mort ?"" Et la découverte finale, qui permet de répondre : "Il n'y avait pas de peur, parce qu'il n'y avait pas de mort." **Présentations d’auteurs** Zelda présentera Tolstoï et Laurie présentera Pouchkine. **Inscription** Pour pouvoir contribuer à la richesse des échanges, s’il vous plait ne vous inscrivez que si vous êtes certain de lire un des deux livres et d’être présent le jour de la rencontre. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et discuter autour d’un verre ! 📚☕️

May Book Club: What my Bones Know by Stephanie Foo

May Book Club: What my Bones Know by Stephanie Foo

Sat, May 30, 12:10 PM
From Paris Non-Fiction Book Club
4.8

For the meeting in May, we'll read and discuss **What my bones know: A memoir of a complex trauma by Stephanie Foo** Description from Goodreads: *By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years.* *Both of Foo's parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD.* *In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it.* *Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman's ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.* **\*New to book club? You're welcome to join our discussion. We'll discuss our thoughts on the book and share related topics.** **\*Discussions held in English**

BOOKCLUB: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

BOOKCLUB: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

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.
