Monthly Book Club Meeting - July

Dear Book Enthusiasts,

For our July gathering, we’ll be reading Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by the Brazilian writer Machado de Assis.

Originally published in 1881, this witty and remarkably modern novel is narrated by Brás Cubas himself — from beyond the grave. Through irony, sharp social observation, and playful philosophical reflections, Machado de Assis creates a narrator who looks back on his life, ambitions, failures, and the society around him with both humor and melancholy. Considered one of the great classics of Brazilian literature, the novel feels surprisingly contemporary in its style and spirit.

📅 Date & Time: Sunday, 05.07.2026 at 14:00
📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin
💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs

As I mentioned in earlier announcements, due to personal reasons I will not be able to attend a few upcoming meetings. A friend of mine, who also happens to be a great book enthusiast, kindly agreed to moderate and host the gathering during my absence. I truly hope you’ll join me in giving Tereza a very warm welcome and your support.

I’m very much looking forward to hearing all about your discussion and to gathering together again soon.

Warmly,
Sofya
