SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: “The Heart of a Dog” by Mikhail Bulgakov
DESCRIPTION:Our long-awaited book club is for anyone who is interested in Russian literature but is daunted by the prospect of reading a complete work in the original! \nEach month we select a classic or contemporary Russian literary work to read in translation. While our discussions are held in English\, we incorporate excerpts and quotes in Russian into the sessions to provide an authentic experience. The club is hosted by an experienced teacher\, who will tailor the language element to the levels of the participants. So whether you’re an elementary or advanced learner of Russian\, our book club welcomes all levels of proficiency. \n“The Heart of a Dog” is a masterful blend of dark humour\, philosophical inquiry\, and social commentary. Bulgakov’s vivid and often grotesque imagery\, combined with his sharp wit\, makes this short novel a compelling and thought-provoking read. It remains a significant work in the realm of Russian literature\, offering profound insights into the nature of humanity and the ethical boundaries of scientific experimentation. \nThe Heart of a Dog is available from Vintage in Michael Glenny’s 1968 translation and from Penguin Classics in Andrew Bromfield’s 2007 version. Bromfield’s is the pacier of the two\, but Glenny has fun with the officialese. \nWe also recommend watching the movie “Собачье сердце” which you can watch it here Heart of a Dog (Собачье сердце) 1988 in English Online (sovietmoviesonline.com) \nWe look forward to reading\, discussing and sharing our passion for Russian literature with you!

SUMMARY:Russian Literary Classics on Screen: Anna Karenina
DESCRIPTION:Our ‘Russian classics on screen’ series is for advanced level students (B2 and above); lessons are conducted in Russian. Each course comprises two sessions\, lasting two hours each. There is a two-week gap between sessions to allow you to watch the film at your own pace. \nThis time\, our attention is on Alexander Zakhri’s 1967 adaption of Anna Karenina\, starring the legendary Soviet film actress Tatiana Samoilova. \nIn the first session\, we will concentrate on key excerpts from the novel that highlight the themes of love\, betrayal\, societal expectations\, and the consequences of our actions. We will discuss Tolstoy’s writing style\, character development\, and the underlying messages he conveys through the story of Anna Karenina. \nDuring the second session we will compare and contrast the characters in the film with their literary counterparts\, analysing the director’s interpretation of the novel. \nWe will also read and analyse some of the famous internal monologues from the novel –Anna’s reflections on love and society\, Levin’s musings on the meaning of life\, and Kitty’s journey to self-discovery – and how they are conveyed in the film. \nIn both sessions we will engage in lively discussion\, analysing and translating the text to enhance our understanding of both novel and film. By the end of the course\, we hope participants will have gained a deeper appreciation for Anna Karenina and its enduring relevance in today’s world.

SUMMARY:Russian through short films: «Вам цветы»
DESCRIPTION:Short films are a wonderful way to experience contemporary culture and authentic language – and to get the satisfaction of watching something complete from beginning to end! \n‘I’ve done about 40 of Tatiana’s short film lessons. It’s an extraordinary method: the films have given me a wonderful chance to practise my speaking and listening\, as well as teaching me things about contemporary life in Russia that I could never have got from a textbook.’
