An English teacher in1966 saw that John Lennon would be making a film in Almería - ‘How  I won the war’ and left his hometown of Cartagena to visit him. The reason was to thank him because Juan, the English teacher,  used the Beatle songs to help  teach  his classes and he had copied the lyrics into his exercise books and he hoped John would  correct them for him. Well, John corrected the lyrics in different coloured markers and promised he would get the record company to publish the words of the songs on the albums from then on. Sgt Pepper was the first with published lyrics.  The famous Beatle also stayed in touch and planned to visit Juan one day in Cartagena.
The story has been made into a film and can be seen in Spanish cinemas now.
'Vivir es fácil con los ojos cerrados'
Here is a link from Luis on John Lennon.
The other link describes the 'Beatlemania' of the time.

Reading group

On Tuesday 11 Feb at the library there are two interesting Roald Dahl stories for us to read. The first one is called Poison and you need to know the name of  this very lethal snake from India. It is a krait.

The second  story, also by Roald Dahl, is called Galloping Foxley and takes you back to the early twentieth century and the horrific school days of an English gentleman.

 

We will be dipping into the work of Alice Munro, winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature in future reading.

 

JOIN US on the second Tuesday of each month at La Biblioteca Central, Metro Baunatal 19:15h
