SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: Gazdanov. An evening at Claire\, The spectre of Alexander Wolf and Night roads
DESCRIPTION:Our 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. \nIn this session we will talk about Gazdanov’s style and his life based on three novels An evening at Claire\, The spectre of Alexander Wolf and Night roads. You don’t have to read all three for the session. \nGaito Gazdanov (1903–1971) was one of the greatest writers of the Russian émigré community. After the revolution\, at just under sixteen years old\, Gazdanov joined the White movement\, and later was forced to leave Russia forever\, sharing the fate of many Russian emigrants. He spent most of his life in Paris and worked for many years as a night taxi driver; from 1953\, he was a correspondent\, and later an editor\, at RadioSvoboda. \nIn the eyes of his contemporaries Gazdanov’s talent was on par with that of Vladimir Nabokov\, Marcel Proust and Ivan Bunin. However\, in the writer’s homeland\, the novel was published only after the author’s death\, in 1990.

SUMMARY:Русский книжный клуб: Романы Гайто Газданова
DESCRIPTION:Our book club welcomes all native Russian speakers and students who have fluency to discuss books in Russian (B2+ – C2) . If you are a student it is a wonderful  opportunity to practise Russian in a natural environment among Russian native speakers. If you are a Russian native speaker you will enjoy meeting people with the same interests. Our focus as always is Russian literature\, culture and history. \nВ ходе сессии мы поговорим о стиле Газданова и его жизни на основе трёх романов: «Вечер у Клэр»\, «Призрак Александра Вольфа» и «Ночные дороги». Для участия в сессии необязательно читать все три книги. \nГайто Газданов (1903–1971) был одним из величайших писателей русской белой эмиграции. После революции\, едва достигнув шестнадцати лет\, Газданов присоединился к Белому движению\, а позднее был вынужден навсегда покинуть Россию\, разделяя судьбу многих русских эмигрантов. Большую часть жизни он провел в Париже и много лет работал ночным таксистом; с 1953 года Газданов был корреспондентом\, а затем редактором на «Радио Свобода». \nВ глазах современников талант Газданова стоял вровень с талантом Владимира Набокова\, Марселя Пруста и Ивана Бунина. Однако на родине первый роман писателя был опубликован только после смерти автора\, в 1990 году. \n
