French Book Club April/May 2025

Voici le livre (très amusant) que j'ai choisi pour notre prochain club de lecture ! Ça fait longtemps que nous n'avons pas lu Amélie Nothomb et j'avoue qu'elle me manque (I miss her, not she misses me ;-)

Our classes will take place on the following Tuesdays :

April 22

April 29

May 6

May 13

As always we will meet at 6pm French time, for 1.5 hours, on Zoom. The class will be recorded so you can watch it again later as many times as you'd like. When I say "you" I mean the participants, it obviously won't be shared with anyone anywhere else.

I will also send you your weekly homework to help you prepare (and make sure you work hard) for each meeting.

Let me share with you here what it says on the back cover of the book

"L'ensevelissement de Pompéi sous les cendres du Vésuve, en 79 après Jésus-Christ, a été le plus cadeau qui ait été offert aux archéologues. À votre avis, qui a fait le coup ?

Pour avoir deviné l'un des plus grands secrets du futur, la jeune romancière Amélie Nothomb est enlevée pendant un bref séjour à l'hôpital, et se réveille au XXVIe siècle (26th century), face à un savant du nom de Celsius.

Entre ces deux personnages que tout oppose s'instaure une conversation où il sera question de la grande guerre du XXIIe siècle (22nd century), du réel et du virtuel, de voyages dans le passé, mais aussi d'art, de philosophie, de morale.

Science-fiction, satire, finesse psychologique, humour acide fusionnent dans un affrontement verbal où chacun cherche la faille de l'autre."
