Join us for our first Intermediate Book Club at the Alliance Francaise de Denver. This book club is designed for those who are looking to deepen their language skills while reading and discussing French Books. We invite all B1+ level members of the Alliance Francaise de Denver and interested in participating in discussions about French literature to join our intermediate level French Book Club! Whether you are a seasoned reader or new to French books, your insights are valuable to our conversations. Our upcoming meetings will focus on a selection of authors and books that will be easy to read yet will provoke engaging discussions. THIS IS NOT A FRENCH CLASS.
  
Objectives: 
 

  • Promote Language Skills: Encourage members to improve their French reading, speaking, and comprehension skills (*this is not a CLASS) 
  • Explore diverse Francophone authors  
  • Promote French discussion & cultural exchange: Create a welcoming environment for open discussions about characters and cultural context of the selected books 
  • Build a community of Francophile readers within the Alliance Française of Denver community  

Note: If you are a fluent French reader, you might consider the French Book Club for Fluent readers.

Selected Book: 

Les caprices d’un astre – Antoine Laurain

Au hasard d'une visite d'appartement, Xavier Lemercier, agent immobilier, trouve un mystérieux télescope ayant appartenu à un célèbre astronome. Dans l'instrument, il cadre une femme derrière une fenêtre, mais il n'ose pas l'aborder. Divorcé et esseulé, avec pour seules joies ses week-ends avec son jeune fils, il commence à tomber amoureux de l'inconnue.Deux cent cinquante ans plus tôt, Guillaume Le Gentil de la Galaisière, astronome de Louis XV, partait vers les Indes pour observer l'exceptionnel passage de Vénus devant le Soleil. Déclaré mort, il revint pourtant onze ans plus tard, mais sans avoir pu observer l'éclipse.Entre le récit d'aventures et le conte philosophique sur la quête de soi, les trajectoires de ces deux hommes romantiques s'entrecroisent et se répondent du XXIᵉ au XVIIIᵉ siècle.
