Club de lecture n° 26 (Spécial Halloween) : Frankenstein de Mary Shelly 🎃🕯️

Club de lecture n° 26 (Spécial Halloween) : Frankenstein de Mary Shelly 🎃🕯️

Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 PM
From Club de lecture - Lire et partager
4.9

Bonjour à toutes et à tous ! 🎃🕯️ Pour ce 26ème club de lecture, je vous propose de prolonger l’ambiance d’Halloween avec un classique qui a donné naissance à un mythe : « Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne » de Mary Shelley ⚡ Derrière l’image de la créature aux boulons se cache un roman bien plus profond qu’on ne le croit : un récit de création, d’abandon et de solitude, écrit par une jeune femme de dix-neuf ans lors d’un été pluvieux au bord du lac Léman. Pour lancer la discussion, une question : **Qui est responsable de ce qui arrive : celui qui crée, celui qui rejette, ou chacun d’entre nous ?** Jusqu’où va notre responsabilité envers ce que nous créons ? Que fait de nous le regard des autres ? Et la science peut-elle aller trop loin ? Comme d’habitude, n’hésitez pas à apporter ou à évoquer d’autres textes, poèmes, films ou lectures qui font écho à ces thèmes (ou à l’esprit gothique de la saison) ! 📅 Rendez-vous le samedi 14 novembre à 15h 📍 L’Ours et la Vieille Grille, 9 rue Larrey, 75005 Paris Comme toujours, pas besoin de préparation académique : juste l’envie de lire, d’échanger et de partager un moment chaleureux autour d’un thé bien chaud ☕✨ Amicalement, Jade

In his suitcase, his self-published political treatise, Our Salvation, in which he defends his patriotic convictions and his methods as an engineer. His credo: "to gain efficiency" to lift France out of the debacle. But perhaps Henri is primarily seeking to escape his own defeat…** **Watch the trailer with English subtitles: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgH7j3Imniw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgH7j3Imniw)**
