“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” (Joseph Addison)
We strongly believe in the invaluable benefits of reading—especially when it means exploring contemporary literature in French. As part of our mission, we invite advanced learners of French who are non-native speakers to read novels in the original language and join our Book Club to discuss them… in French!
We carefully select books that highlight the extraordinary diversity of the French-speaking world and ensure they are accessible through the digital library www.culturetheque.com or in another digital format.
For our current members and students of French only.
Free access to culturetheque.com when you are a current AFB member.
An advanced level of French (advanced B1 and above) is necessary to attend. The number of participants is limited to 8 participants. Attending in person is recommended, though a virtual access via zoom will be available as well.
When: Sunday November 23rd, 2 pm – 4 pm
Where : @ our office
Book selected: Sept histoires qui reviennent de loin, by Jean-Christophe Rufin
Sept histoires fortes, drôles, émouvantes. Sept petits romans avec chacun son intrigue, ses personnages, son dénouement inattendu. Sept lieux du monde, Mozambique, Kirghizie, île Maurice… qui apportent leurs couleurs et leurs parfums. Sept occasions de donner aux grandes questions contemporaines un visage humain. Sept instants de vie. Un même bonheur de lecture.
The book club is free for our members who are currently taking a French class.
If you are not currently an AFB student, but an AFB member, a non refundable contribution of $5 per meeting is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
