Vienna
Lit Book Group
-- !! Everyone welcome !! One Monday a month we get together in the
English Studies library at Vienna University (AAKH Hof8) to discuss
some
contemporary text. Next meeting:
6.15pm - 8pm
Gilead
by Marilynne Robinson
“'Gilead' is a beautiful work -- demanding, grave and lucid -- and is,
if
anything, more out of time than Robinson's book of essays, suffused as
it is
with a Protestant bareness that sometimes recalls George Herbert (who
is
alluded to several times, along with John Donne) and sometimes the
American
religious spirit that produced Congregationalism and 19th-century
Transcendentalism and those bareback religious riders Emerson, Thoreau
and
Melville.”
James Wood, New York Times
If you love reading and want
to meet like-minded people informally to have a snack, a drink, and –
above all
– to discuss a contemporary text, just come along.
6.15pm-8pm,
English Studies
Library, AAKH Hof 8, Spitalgasse 2, 1090 Wien

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
By Robert
Louis Stevenson
On the fog-bound streets of
Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll's experiments with exotic "powders and
tinctures" have brought forth his other self―Edward Hyde, a sensualist and
villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend.
However, the lines between good and evil become blurry in this new and shocking
version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of depravity, lust, love and
horror.”
Tuesdays through Saturdays.
