7 Nobel PRIZES FOR litErature
It is said that these days we are reading less and less. As children however we access the world first and foremost through books; Jules Verne, Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, the Countess of Segur, Cervantes...........
Reading is a passion of mine that I would like to share with you for one evening once every month. The idea of honouring a writer whose work has been awarded the Nobel Prize seems natural, for they are those who, according to Alfred Nobel, have " produced, in the world of literature, the most remarkable work, of an idealistic nature."
This year, 7 writers have been chosen, for 7 evenings during which a work will be read by an actor or actress, in an abridged form but with respect for the narrative as a whole. This reading will be preceded by a Biography about the author (some of whom may do us the honour of being present) by a person of note, whose speech will be accompanied by archive footage and images.

The septembre edition of the Magazine Littéraire, partner of the event, will offer 10 invitations to their subscribers.
