Camões Institute, Portuguese Embassy & Portuguese Department UU

PORTUGUESE BOOK CLUB

We have created a Portuguese Book club to give readers in the Netherlands a possibility to get acquainted with some of the best authors in the Portuguese language in a relaxed environment, discussing the books and the subjects they address, exchanging points of view while further learning about literature in Portuguese and lusophone cultures.

We will address books from Portuguese, Brazilian, Angolan and Mozambican writers.

The contact language will be either English or Dutch, depending on the participants.

Film screenings will also take place, when considered relevant:

On the first meeting, the documentary “Ensaio sobre o teatro” (Rui Simões, 2006) will be shown, to accompany the debate on José Saramago and “Blindness”.

On the second meeting, the film “The Mystery of Sintra” (Jorge Paixão da Costa, 2007) will be shown, to accompany the debate on Eça de Queirós and “The Mandarin”.

For further information, please contact Vera Peixoto (V.Paixoto@uu.nl) or Paulo de Medeiros (P.R.deMedeiros@uu.nl) or go to the site: http://portuguesetaalencultuurutrecht.blogspot.com/
