Honoré de Balzac was born on May 20th, 1799 and died on August 18th, 1850. He is best known for his magnum opus, La Comédie humaine. He is considered one of the exponents of realism in European literature and is admired for his piercing eye and keen perception of life throughout different stations of French society.
We will be reading «The Red Inn», a short story taken from La Comédie Humaine. It is more than a social critique, it is a look into the human condition under adverse circumstances.
We will meet do discuss Balzac’s short story on Thursday, May 12th at 7:30 pm at La Biela in Plaza Francia, Recoleta.
Please read the work ahead of time and come ready to share your thoughts and reactions to the work.
Please let us know if you will join us for our first meeting of the Café this year in English. Let us know you will be coming so we can save a place for you at the table: cafeliterarioba@gmail.com.
