This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.

Chér.e.s Group Elements, (Oui, *comme dans un groupe mathématique* 🧮🙂) Retrouvons-nous pour assister à cette conférence assez fascinante (et informative !) sur **« SMILE : Révéler l'invisible - explorer la magnétosphère terrestre en rayons X »** par Dimitra Koutroumpa (LATMOS-OVSQ) 🌌 🌌 🔄 ***Cet événement remplace une session précédemment annoncée pour le 7 intitulée "Sonder la nature de l'énergie noire avec le projet DESI", qui a été reporté au 5 mai (les inscriptions ouvrent le 8 avril)*** **Voici la description :** 🌞 La météorologie de l'espace étudie l'environnement spatial terrestre, notamment les interactions entre le Soleil et notre planète. Au cour de ce système, la magnétosphère - un bouclier magnétique naturel - nous protège des particules chargées émises par le Soleil - le vent solaire - généralement maintenues à distance par une frontière appelée magnétopause. 🛰️ Cependant, sous certaines conditions, les champs magnétiques du Soleil et de la Terre peuvent s'interconnecter, créant des brèches dans la magnétopause. Ces ouvertures permettent alors aux particules solaires énergétiques de pénétrer dans notre environnement spatial. L'intensité et la fréquence de ces phénomènes de reconnexion magnétique varient en fonction de l'activité solaire. Pendant les pics d'activité, les éruptions solaires et les éjections de masse coronale (CME) peuvent provoquer des perturbations majeures, comme des orages géomagnétiques, des aurores polaires, mais aussi des dysfonctionnements de satellites, des coupures radio, voire des pannes électriques. 🔭 Pour mieux comprendre et anticiper ces phénomènes, la mission SMILE (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), prévue pour un lancement en avril 2026, utilisera une technologie innovante d'imagerie en rayons X. Son objectif : observer globalement la magnétosphère et son évolution face aux variations du vent solaire, afin d'améliorer notre compréhension de la météo de l'espace et de ses impacts sur notre quotidien. 📝 **Voici le lien d'inscription et plus :** https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html ▶️ et la seance **sera en direct** et replay sur son son chaine YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis **Même si le site indique que c’est complet, vous pouvez souvent encore trouver une place en arrivant un peu en avance.** 🍀 La conférence est prévue pour commencer à 19h30. 📍 **Accés :** https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺 Ça dure normalement 60 - 90 mins. Ensuite, pour ceux qui souhaitent prolonger la soirée, on pourrait prendre un verre ou / et aller dans ce resto fast food assez bon près d'Alésia : Brasao Alesia- Restaurant poulet braisé Paris 14ème au 47 Av. du Général Leclerc, 75014 Paris https://maps.app.goo.gl/5QrggZkJYsdaTLUk6 À très bientot ! 🌌 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% **Dear Group Elements,** (Yes — *like elements of a mathematical group* 🧮🙂) Let's attend this fascinating (and informative!) talk on **“SMILE: Revealing the Invisible — Exploring Earth's Magnetosphere in X-rays”** by Dimitra Koutroumpa (LATMOS-OVSQ) 🌌🌌 🔄 ***This event replaces a previously announced session scheduled for the 7th April, titled ‘Exploring the nature of dark energy with the DESI project’, which has been postponed to 5 May (registration opens on 8 April)*** **Description:** 🌞 Space weather studies Earth's space environment, particularly the interactions between the Sun and our planet. At the heart of this system, the magnetosphere — a natural magnetic shield — protects us from charged particles emitted by the Sun (the solar wind), which are generally kept at bay by a boundary called the magnetopause. 🛰️ However, under certain conditions, the Sun's and Earth's magnetic fields can interconnect, creating gaps in the magnetopause. These openings allow energetic solar particles to penetrate our space environment. The intensity and frequency of these magnetic reconnection events vary with solar activity. During activity peaks, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can trigger major disruptions such as geomagnetic storms, polar auroras, but also satellite malfunctions, radio blackouts, and even power outages. 🔭 To better understand and anticipate these phenomena, the SMILE mission (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), planned for launch in April 2026, will use innovative X-ray imaging technology. Its goal: to globally observe the magnetosphere and its evolution in response to solar wind variations, in order to improve our understanding of space weather and its impacts on daily life. 📝 **Here’s the registration link** (please do it promptly) and more! https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html **Even if the registration appears full when you follow the link, it’s usually still possible to get seats if you arrive early** 🍀 The talk is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ▶️ And the session will also be available **live and replay** on IAP's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis 📍 **Acces**: https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺It usually lasts 60–90 minutes. Afterwards for those who'd like to continue the evening, we could grab a drink and/or go to this pretty good fast-food restaurant near Alésia: Brasao Alésia – Grilled Chicken Restaurant, Paris 14th, 47 Avenue du Général Leclerc, 75014 Paris https://maps.app.goo.gl/5QrggZkJYsdaTLUk6 See you very soon! 🌌

Bonjour à toutes et tous ! ✨ Quel plaisir de voir notre cycle sur l'amitié s'épanouir avec autant de passion. Alors que nos échanges sur Momo et Madame Rosa résonnent encore, il est déjà temps de préparer notre prochaine escale littéraire. Le **samedi 11 avril 2026 à 15h00**, nous ouvrirons un nouveau chapitre de nos rencontres avec une thématique qui me semble essentielle : **« Portraits de Femmes »**. 📖✨ Après avoir exploré les liens de l'âme, nous allons plonger dans la complexité, la force et la résilience des figures féminines qui marquent la littérature. Pour ce rendez-vous, l'œuvre choisie est le manifeste puissant de **Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie** : **« Nous sommes tous des féministes »** 🌸 À travers ce texte, nous découvrirons le destin et la vision d'une autrice qui nous inspire et nous invite à réfléchir ensemble sur la place des femmes. 🗳️📚 On se retrouvera comme toujours autour d'un bon café ou d'un thé pour partager nos regards et nos émotions. ☕🍵 À très vite pour de nouvelles découvertes, Amicalement, Jade

Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book. *Nausea* is the story of Antoine Roquentin, a French writer who is horrified at his own existence. In impressionistic, diary form he ruthlessly catalogues his every feeling and sensation about the world and people around him. His thoughts culminate in a pervasive, overpowering feeling of nausea which "spread at the bottom of the viscous puddle, at the bottom of *our* time, the time of purple suspenders and broken chair seats; it is made of wide, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain." Roquentin's efforts to try and come to terms with his life, his philosophical and psychological struggles, give Sartre the opportunity to dramatize the tenets of his Existentialist creed. The introduction for this edition of *Nausea* by Hayden Carruth gives background on Sartre's life and major works, a summary of the principal themes of Existentialist philosophy, and a critical analysis of the novel itself.

Merci de [prendre ta place ici.](https://luma.com/avyfq29z)\*\*​ **📚 Join The Offline Club at Le Kawaa du Lucernaire for a very special edition of our cosy Offline Reading Party.** ​Lock your phone away and immerse yourself in a morning designed to recharge you — with a twist. ​This time, we're celebrating **Slow Art Day** by turning our books into works of art. ​Because here's the thing: your book *is* art. The cover, the typography, the texture of the pages, the way a sentence is constructed. We just rarely slow down enough to notice. ​This reading party is your chance to disconnect from screens, unwind from the daily buzz, and meet like-minded people — while rediscovering your book through a completely different lens. ​A little escape into a different world — where time slows down, people are open to connect, and you can truly focus on yourself. ​The perfect start to your weekend. ✨ *** ​**What to expect:** ​📖 Peaceful (me-)time to read that book you've been meaning to start (or finish!) ​🎨 A Slow Art session that might just change the way you read... forever ​🤝 The chance to meet and connect with like-minded (wannabe) booklovers ​💬 A space where connection comes easily — no rush, no pressure, no notifications ​🫖 Community vibes, a welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of time to relax ​📵 Valuable time offline that leaves you feeling rested and fulfilled ​🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual, so you can comfortably speak either language *** ​**The Program:** ​**10:00 – 10:30 \| Arrive & Make Yourself at Home** ​**10:30 – 11:00 \| Slow Art Session** ​We'll begin by looking at our books the way you'd look at a painting in a museum: slowly, curiously, without rushing to "get through it." ​Led by an Art Therapist specialised in Museum Art Therapy and Book Therapy (yes, that's me, Stefania, your city leader 🙋‍♀️), this session will invite you to truly *see* your book before you read it. ​We'll also explore the idea of Slow Reading, because... did you know that's a thing too? ​**11:00 – 12:00 \| Dive Into Your Book** Your time to sit back and enjoy undistracted reading time — perhaps with fresh eyes after the session. ​**12:00 – 13:00 \| Connect With Others** ​Chat and connect with others, but only if you feel like it. ​Meet new people, share stories about your favourite reads, and enjoy meaningful conversations. ​We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy. *** ​**What to Bring** ​Your current read, a book with a cover that makes your heart sing, or both. ​Comics, poetry, graphic novels — all literature is welcome here. Come as you are, bring what moves you. *** ​​**About your phone:** *Your phone will rest in our “phone hotel,” and we’ll be its bodyguards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible.* ​​*Not quite ready to let it go? No worries — just switch it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight.* *** ​We love and appreciate the venues that host our events! Please remember that your consumption gives the venues one more reason to love us back! *** ​**We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.** ​​Offline hugs, ​​Stefania, The Offline Club Paris

Coucou les égarés ! Pour le mois d'avril, je vous propose la lecture de "Le maître d'escrime", d'Arturo Pérez Reverte. On se retrouvera à l'étage de l'Indiana Café de Montparnasse, pour en discuter autour d'un dîner, comme d'habitude. À bientôt !

Envie de papoter lecture autour d'un café ? 📖☕ J'organise notre tout premier café littéraire le **samedi 11 avril 2026 à 15h**. L'occasion de se rencontrer et d'échanger ensemble sur nos lectures récentes et coups de cœur dans une ambiance conviviale. Nous sommes déjà un petit groupe de trentenaires qui se retrouve une fois par mois pour échanger sur des livres et pourquoi pas, par la suite tester de nouveaux formats (ateliers thématiques, brunchs, sorties culturelles…). Aujourd'hui, nous aimerions accueillir de nouveaux membres de la même tranche d'âge pour agrandir notre cercle ! Que tu sois un(e) passionné(e) de lecture ou lecteur(rice) occasionnel(le), tu es le/la bienvenu(e) ☺️ **ℹ️** **Informations importantes** * Événement gratuit — chacun règle sa consommation sur place. * Paris Centre 📍 — L’adresse exacte sera communiquée aux inscrits. * Les places étant limitées, merci de t'inscrire seulement si tu es sûr(e) de venir. Au plaisir de se rencontrer ! Victoria

Anton Tchekhov **La Mouette** 1896 200 pages Babel Une pièce qui révolutiona le théâtre. "On ne pouvait, pensaient-ils, intéresser le public à un débat intérieur. Au théâtre, pour eux, ce qui ne servait pas directement l'intrigue était inutile. Et ici, les gens, au lieu d'agir, laissaient parler leur âme..." (extrait de Tchekhov d'Henri Troyat à propos de la réaction de ses amis après la première lecture de la pièce) VERSION PAPIER Je vous recommande vivement la traduction d'André Markowicz et Françoise Morvan publiée par Babel/ Actes Sud. **Cette traduction** **existe seulement en livre papier** ; il n'y a pas de livre électronique avec cette traduction. Une photo de la couverture de cette édition est ci-dessus pour voir servir de repère. Il est fort probable que vous allez pouvoir le trouver en librairie. Sinon vous pouvez en commander un sur la Fnac, Amazon. Il y a des livres d'occasion sur Rakuten à 1.52 euros. LIVRE ÉLECTRONIQUE Il en existe au moins un avec une ancienne traduction libre de droit. Si vous pouvez, je vous recommande de vous tourner vers l'édition papier de Babel avec la traduction de Markowicz qui sont toujours une valeur sûre. **PRIX** 10 euros à régler sur place ou par Wero. Les 10 euros servent à couvrir l'abonnement sur le site Meetup (200 euros par an), l'abonnement occasionnel sur TMS (20 euros par mois), l'achat des livres si nécessaire et récompenser le temps et les efforts d'organisation (je prépare beaucoup d'informations sur le livre et l'écrivain). **COMMENT NOUS TROUVER ?** On se retrouve à l'intérieur du café TOURVILLE situé à 1 Pl. de l'École Militaire. On s'installe d'habitude à l'étage.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
