An exciting new app

A startup app publishing company from beautiful Barcelona has been in touch with us to show us their fabulous initiative. They are bringing classical literature to life with animation, music and voices while  using the original text.

Their latest publication is The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. However, this is actually their second publication of Wilde's work. Their first was a set of stories, one of which was the inspiration for this association, The Selfish Giant. 

Together with The Happy Prince and The Nightingale and The Rose, these stories can be seen and viewed in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese.

Summer Reading

Members are welcome to borrow and exchange paperbacks.
We have a nice collection. We even have The Moon and Sixpence.
We read the opening chapters even though they were pretty difficult.
Well done all of you! That title comes from another story by Somerset Maugham suggesting that  people are so preoccupied looking down for sixpence  ( a little silver coin now out of use) that they don't look up to see the moon.

The room will be open tomorrow 15th June at 19h.
Also on Friday morning at 11h

A good talking point could be football and the good energy it generates  and if it can play a role in world peace.
