We'll discuss authors and works from all over the world! We'll take in a bit of everything: French landmarks featured in great novels (such as discussing the Three Musketeers right there at the Louvre), the neighbourhoods where many immortal works were created (strolling through the streets previously inhabited by Ernest Hemingway and the rest of the Lost Generation), and talk about the impact of Paris on literature in the rest of the world!
A mix of both French and non-French authors, we'll discuss works by by Victor Hugo, Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Simone de Beauvoir, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, James Baldwin, Jules Verne, Leo Tolstoy, Émile Zola, Voltaire, and more!
We'll touch on literature of all genres: including adventure, memoir, tragedy, science fiction, poetry, historical fiction, short stories, detective novels, and children's literature, ranging from hundreds of years ago to the present day!
