Don't miss this week's ' it meeting:

Our first meeting in October will be dedicated to Edith Wharton's "The House of Mirth"!
Written in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, the book captures the life of brilliant and beautiful, but not-so-young Lily Bart, who desperately needs to get married, and where this desire leads her. Let's immerse ourselves in the world of balls, money, and scandalous gossip, because what can be nobler than observing one's downfall? 🧑🏻‍🚒

"In all these places I have stood in Doorways and looked ahead. I have never seen any indication that the World was coming to an End, but only the regular progression of Halls and Passageways into the Far Distance." – Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

This academic year, Page Turners are starting strong with Susanna Clarke’s mysterious world of Piranesi 🏛🌊✨

Will this fantasy novel ease your transition from long, blissful summer days to the fast-paced, indoorsy reality of university life? Let’s find out! 📚🪄

The story unfolds through a series of journal entries documenting the House, the protagonist's entire world. The House is a labyrinth of halls and statues, but it's largely devoid of people. Yet does solitude necessarily mean loneliness and isolation? Could the House be a place of comfort rather than confinement? 🏠☕️

As Piranesi finds meaning in his surroundings, he also begins to uncover the truth about his own identity. 👁️ 🌕 But the more he learns, the more questions arise, blurring the line between memory, reality, and what he has been led to believe…

Deep secrets, lost memories, and a forgotten world. If you're ready to explore all that and more, join Page Turners on October 23 at 4:30 PM at Biblioteka Wydziału Neofilologii UW! 📖🪴
