SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: “The Overcoat" by Gogol and "The Stationmaster" by Pushkin
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‘Pushkin transformed every form of Russian literature he touched’ – The Guardian \n‘Gogol occupies a key place in the Russian cultural pantheon’ – Harvard University Press \nBoth of these stories are crucial for understanding Russian literature\, as they introduce the topic of the so-called “little person\,” which was further developed by many Russian authors\, including Dostoevsky\, Chekhov\, and others. \n“The Overcoat” is one of the St Petersburg tales written by Gogol. \nWe recommend Pevear and Volokhonsky’s translation of “The Overcoat”. \nAmazon.com: The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol: 9780375706158: Gogol\, Nikolai\, Pevear\, Richard\, Volokhonsky\, Larissa: Books \nWe also recommend watching “The overcoat“ The Overcoat (Шинель) 1959 in English Online (sovietmoviesonline.com) \nThe Stationmaster is one of Belkin’s tales written by Pushkin. \nWe recommend Pevear and Volokhonsky’s translation of “The Stationmaster”. \nNovels\, Tales\, Journeys: Alexander Pushkin (Everyman’s Library CLASSICS): Amazon.co.uk: Pushkin\, Alexander\, Bayley\, John\, Pevear\, Richard\, Volokhonsky\, Larissa: 9781841594187: Books \nWe recommend watching a movie based on the book Станционный смотритель (драма\, реж.

SUMMARY:Russian Film Club: The Cranes Are Flying
DESCRIPTION:Dive deeper into the captivating world of Russian cinema through a curated selection of award-winning contemporary and classic films spanning various genres. \nAt our monthly gatherings\, you can look forward to engaging discussions that delve into the nuances of each film\, offering perspectives on storytelling techniques\, cinematography\, and the socio-cultural context in which the movies were created. By announcing the film a month in advance\, we aim to give you ample time to watch\, reflect\, and come prepared to share your thoughts and insights with fellow cinephiles. \nLanguage will not be a barrier at the Russian Film Club\, as all our sessions are conducted in English\, welcoming film enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds to come together and explore the beauty and depth of Russian cinema. Whether you’re a seasoned film buff or just discovering the magic of Russian movies\, our club provides a welcoming space to expand your horizons and appreciation for cinematic artistry. \nThe Cranes Are Flying is a World War II story which won the Cannes Festival top award for the best film in 1958 \n«It is a picture about two young people romantically in love – in love with each other\, that is\, not with a tractor or the Soviet state. And the theme\, which evolves in the agony of their being separated by war … is poignantly and powerfully pro-peace.” Bolsey\, New York Times \nWatch the trailer here.  \nYou can watch it in Russian on Youtube or on  Soviet Movies Online which has a range of membership options.
