SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: “The Brothers Karamazov” by Dostoevsky
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. \nSet in 19th-century Russia\, The Brothers Karamazov is a thought-provoking novel that delves into profound philosophical questions. It explores the concepts of God\, free will\, and morality. The novel is also considered a theological drama\, examining the struggles of faith and doubt. Its central plot revolves around a gripping subject of patricide and investigation. \nWe recommend a classic translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky or a new one by Michael Katz. \nThere is also a film\, which is very faithful to the book\, directed by Ivan Pyriev in 1968\, which we recommend to watch (Братья Карамазовы\, 1 серия (4К\, драма\, реж. Иван Пырьев\, 1968 г.) – YouTube) \nWe look forward to reading\, discussing and sharing our passion for Russian literature with you!

SUMMARY:Russian Film Club: His wife's diary
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. \nRussian author Ivan Bunin\, a Nobel Prize laureate in literature\, immigrated from the Soviet Union to France in 1920. This film seeks to unveil the mystery of his years in exile\, which were filled with loss\, nostalgia\, sorrow\, and yet marked by prolific writing. The camerawork conveys a poetic perception of life\, reflecting the themes Bunin explored in his novels and poems. \nYou can watch the movie here His Wife’s Diary (Дневник его жены) 2000 in English (sovietmoviesonline.com) or on YouTube or Amazon Prime \nIf you’d like some background reading\,  Bunin’s “Dark alleys (avenues)” is a great choice. \n
