LAS LECTURAS

The date for June's shared readings has been changed from 16th to today 9th.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Biblioteca Central 19:15h


Today we will be visiting early twentieth century America again through the works of John Steinbeck.

Those who want to read with  us the first chapters of the splendid novel East of Eden just have to join the Reading Group by contacting Raquel in la Biblioteca Central de San Sebastián De Los Reyes or mailing us at the address on the bar above.

It is a great account that explores deep into human nature and our ability to do good and evil. Ultimately Steinbeck reaches a very interesting analysis through Lee, the Chinese character he portrays with great respect.


That is summed up in the translation of the Hebrew Timshel: Thou mayest....triumph over evil.


Totally engrossing, we hope you are encouraged to read the whole book.

NOVEDAD

Hi!

If you come by the common room today you will see that instead of a discussion, we are just going to watch T.V.  This gives Luis' head a rest as it is difficult to come up with topics every week.
Sala 1.1. U.P. Sanse 18:30h

Come and watch Modern Family

This highly acclaimed television series is one that we are looking forward to watching.


Members can also come and browse through our books!
