Club de lectura de novel·la en anglès. Dinamitzat per Chris Conduit. Cal inscripció prèvia
Moral Disorder
Margaret Atwood is acknowledged as one of the foremost writers of our time. In Moral Disorder she has created a series of interconnected stories that trace the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it--those of parents, of siblings, of children, of friends, of enemies, of teachers, and even of animals. As in a photograph album, time is measured in sharp, clearly observed moments. The '30s, the '40s, the '50s, the '60s, the '70s, the '80s, the '90s, and the present --all are here. The settings vary: large cities, suburbs, farms, northern forests.
The first story, "The Bad News," is set in the present, as a couple no longer young situate themselves in a larger world no longer safe. The narrative then switches time as the central character moves through childhood and adolescence in "The Art of Cooking and Serving," "The Headless Horseman," and "My Last Duchess." We follow her into young adulthood in "The Other Place" and then through a complex relationship, traced in four of the stories: "Monopoly," "Moral Disorder," "White Horse," and "The Entities." The last two stories, "The Labrador Fiasco" and "The Boys at the Lab," deal with the heartbreaking old age of parents but circle back again to childhood, to complete the cycle.
By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. As the New York Times has said: "The reader has the sense that Atwood has complete access to her people's emotional histories, complete understanding of their hearts and imaginations."
La biblioteca municipal Pompeu Fabra ofereix diferents tipus de clubs de lectura, tant per a persones adultes com per a infants.
En aquests dos clubs de lectura es realitza una entrevista als pares per a saber en quin nivell estan els seus fills, i també s’explica presencialment als potencials membres del Club què és realment un Club de Lectura. D'aquesta manera, quan els infants vinguin a la biblioteca hagin llegit els llibres i sàpiguen en què consisteix l’activitat.
En tots els casos, per a gestionar la inscripció d'un club de lectura la persona interessada ha d'anar presencialment a biblioteca en horari d’obertura al públic (de dilluns a divendres de 16 h a 20.30 h, i els dijous i els dissabtes de 10 h a 13:30 h), i omplir una fitxa amb les seves dades bàsiques. En aquesta visita a la biblioteca s’informarà els usuaris sobre:
A part, també s’entregaran els llibres de la sessió que correspongui.
