German Book Club Overview

• Your teacher will host these sessions talking about German literature. Each week, speaking in German you will discuss your reading with your tutor and Book Club members.
• Each course will focus on a different book. This autumn the book will be Gut gegen Nordwind by Daniel Glattauer.
• Book description: 'It begins by chance: Leo receives emails in error from an unknown woman called Emmi. Being polite he replies, and Emmi writes back. A few brief exchanges are all it takes to spark a mutual interest in each other, and soon Emmi and Leo are sharing their innermost secrets and longings. The erotic tension simmers, and it seems only a matter of time before they will meet in person. But they keep putting off the moment – the prospect both excites and unsettles them. And after all, Emmi is happily married. Will their feelings for each other survive the test of a real-life encounter?'
• The German Book Club course lasts for six weeks and runs throughout the year excluding summer.
• You will study in a small group with an average class size of 6-8 students (max 14), and the minimum age is 18.
