Apéritifs at 7:00pm
The lecture will be our last one of the season so why not join us for an apéritif from 7:00pm before the start of the presentation. We hope many of you will be able to join us for a glass of wine or two!
Henri Beyle, dit Stendhal ou l’un des “demi-dieux” de nos lettres
Présentation par Thierry Viennois
L’auteur de La Chartreuse de Parme est l’un des écrivains les plus connus et les plus étudiés dans le monde mais il n’a pas toujours plu, surtout à ses concitoyens de Grenoble. Ses antécédents l’ont rendu acide vis-à- vis de sa ville natale et de ses congénères. La vie de l’artiste romantique est indissociable de son œuvre. Quel mystère se cache derrière cet homme si mal aimé que pour ses obsèques, seules trois personnes y assistèrent? Partons à la découverte d’un romantique, bien dauphinois malgré tout!
Thierry will be at the centre to make his presentation and we hope many of you will be coming to the Oglethorpe Hall, Crown Court Car Park, Godalming GU7 1DY. As usual, the lecture will start at 7:30pm. Alternatively, if you are unable to travel on the night, you can watch the lecture on Zoom (link will be emailed to you more near the time).
Coffee and French conversation session: Friday 20th June
Come and join us for a coffee and a chat at the King’s Arms Hotel in Godalming High Street from 10.00am until 11:30am. You can arrive and leave at any time between 10am and 11:30am. Our chats are very informal and relaxed and we hope many of you will join us again!
We hope you have an enjoyable summer!
Amicalement,
Christine Curley
