The craft of espionage has fascinated people ever since stories were told, whether orally, on the printed page, or on a screen. The secrecy, manipulation, deception, and potential danger combine to produce a unique aura to these works.
Matthew will take us through a selection of books from this ever-popular, ever-evolving genre of fiction and we'll select a book to suit our thirst for some spy action!
Location: Maison des Associations, salle Albert Jacquard
Presenter: Matthew
Starting time: 7:15 PM
Format:
Part 1: presenter(s) provide a short overview of the pre-selected books, highlighting some of the reviews and critics and other relevant background. Members who have read any of the books can contribute.
Part 2: participants are invited to introduce any book that they would like to recommend and provide a short overview thereof (on a voluntarily basis).
Part 3: participants vote to select the book to be discussed in one of the upcoming book discussion meetings.
We look forward to seeing you all!
