Through the Pages

This week we read one of the American classics: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne , first published in 1850. Our first literary journey to the 19th century!

Prepare for rambles about pesky narrators, the concept of penitence, why this story might still be relevant today – and the ultimate question: can The Scarlet Letter be read as a feminist text...

This week's classic is our first non-English classic! Published in 1972 by Giulio Einaudi Editore, Invisible Cities is a story about storytelling with a very unusual structure, which made for a great discussion!
