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: 

Eldorado – Laurent Gaudé

Gardien de la citadelle Europe, le commandant Piracci navigue depuis vingt ans au large des côtes italiennes, afin d'intercepter les embarcations des émigrants clandestins. Mais plusieurs événements viennent ébranler sa foi en sa mission.
Dans le même temps, au Soudan, deux frères (bientôt séparés par le destin) s'apprêtent à entreprendre le dangereux voyage vers le continent de leurs rêves, l'Eldorado européen...
Parce qu'il n'y a pas de frontière que l'espérance ne puisse franchir, Laurent Gaudé fait résonner la voix de ceux qui, au prix de leurs illusions, leur identité et parfois leur vie, osent se mettre en chemin pour s'inventer une terre promise.
