**📚 The ReadingRiot BookClub Gennaio – *L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere*** Per il primo appuntamento del nuovo anno, ci immergiamo in uno dei grandi romanzi del Novecento: **L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere** di **Milan Kundera**. Un libro che intreccia amore, desiderio, libertà e responsabilità, mettendo continuamente in dialogo le scelte individuali con il peso della storia collettiva. Attraverso le vite dei suoi personaggi, Kundera ci invita a riflettere su cosa significhi scegliere, restare fedeli (o no), essere liberi, accettare le conseguenze delle proprie decisioni. È una lettura intensa ma scorrevole, perfetta da leggere o rileggere durante le vacanze di Natale, con il tempo necessario per lasciarla sedimentare e arrivare all’incontro con pensieri, domande e passaggi sottolineati. Durante l’incontro condivideremo impressioni, riflessioni ed emozioni emerse dalla lettura. Il BookClub è uno spazio aperto e informale: non servono competenze letterarie, ma solo la voglia di ascoltare e confrontarsi. L’incontro è aperto a tutte/i, anche a chi non ha terminato il libro: ogni punto di vista è benvenuto. 🗝️ **Temi di discussione** * il valore delle scelte individuali * leggerezza vs pesantezza dell’esistenza * libertà vs costrizione * amore, fedeltà e identità * storia collettiva vs destino personale 📅 **Quando** Venerdì 23 gennaio – ore 19:00 📍 **Dove** **Open – Porta Romana -** *Viale Monte Nero 6, Milano* Uno spazio accogliente e conviviale, ideale per leggere, discutere e condividere idee davanti a un buon bicchiere. 🍷 Durante l’evento è incluso **aperitivo + drink** 💰 **Costo: 10€** \- da pagare direttamente al locale Porta il libro (cartaceo o digitale) oppure arriva semplicemente con la voglia di ascoltare e condividere. ✨ **Posti limitati** – conferma la tua partecipazione su Meetup per riservare il tuo posto. Ci vediamo tra le pagine!
