lesen22 is a weekly reading circle at Bistro 21 in cooperation with Florian∞Emden.
This time, we are reading Frankenstein by Mary Wollenstonecraft Shelley!!
We will meet on 6 occasions during the winter to read and discuss the novel and accompanying literature.
In the first block and during the Christmas break, our focus will be on the novel. In the second block, we would like to collect, read, and discuss literature that deals with the cultural perception and themes of the novel. (Keywords: monstrosity, othering, Gothic literature, authorship, fabulation, etc.). Just as the last time, the reading circle will be shaped by it’s readers — we built the monster and you will breathe life into it.
The number of participants is limited. Please check the scheduled dates before registering. The meetings are scheduled for 6 pm. Time arrangements can be discussed on a weekly basis within the group. We will read the novel in its original English language. (English Level: A2-B2). Discussions will take place in German and/or English, depending on the group.

Every thing must have a beginning, to speak in Sanchean phrase; and that beginning must be linked to something that went before. The Hindus give the world an elephant to support it, but they make the elephant stand upon a tortoise. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself.
(Mary Wollenstonecraft Shelley, London, 15 October 1831) ———
