British Reading Club – Henry and Eliza

Jane Austen’s novels are beloved and frequently adapted for film, so it’s nearly impossible not to know Pride and Prejudice or Emma. But have you ever come across her short stories? She wrote them as a teenager to entertain her family and friends. We picked one of them to be discussed at the next meeting of the British Reading Club on Tuesday, 27th of February 2024 at 5 pm. The story is called Henry and Eliza and you can either check it out from our library or find it online. We invite all the library members over 15 to come join our club. The meetings are held in English.

Romány Jane Austenovej sú obľúbené a často aj sfilmované, takže je takmer nemožné aby ste nepoznali Pýchu a predsudok, či Emmu. Ale stretli ste sa niekedy s jej poviedkami? Jane ich písala ako mladé dievča pre pobavenie svojej rodiny a priateliek. Jednu z nich sme vybrali ako tému najbližšieho Britského klubu, ktorý sa stretne v utorok, 27. februára 2024 o 17:00. Poviedku Henry a Eliza môžete nájsť v našej knižnici alebo online. Pozývame všetkých našich čitateľov od 15 rokov aby sa pridali. Stretnutie prebieha v anglickom jazyku.
