This new book club approaches foundational texts that have shaped the past three centuries through a cross-disciplinary reading series that invites us to engage with the questions of our present. Each session pairs one of these works with a strictly contemporary text (as an optional reading), creating a dialogue in which the past becomes a lens for thinking the present, and vice versa. **No academic background is required; curiosity and openness are all you need.** *BUY THE BOOKS HERE:* **This month we will be reading [Sigmund Freud's ](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/civilization-and-its-discontents/)*[Civilization and Its Discontents](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/civilization-and-its-discontents/)*.

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

This Event is for people who are curious about fashion beyond trends. Our goal is to explore the deeper layers of the fashion industry: how iconic houses build influence, how creative direction shapes cultural perception, and how brand strategy creates long-term power. These meetups are designed as educational and cultural conversations where fashion is approached as a system — not just aesthetics. During our sessions we explore: \* the history and evolution of major fashion houses \* brand positioning and creative direction \* how fashion shapes culture and identity \* how knowledge of the industry builds confidence and perspective Understanding fashion at this level is not only interesting — it is also a valuable skill for people working in creative industries, marketing, branding or cultural fields. But these events are not lectures. They are intimate discussions in small groups, where knowledge becomes conversation and ideas are shared openly. The goal is to create a space for people who want to: \* deepen their understanding of fashion and culture \* develop their thinking and perspective \* build meaningful connections with curious and ambitious people \* grow both professionally and intellectually Because entering an industry does not always start with a job. Sometimes it starts with knowledge, curiosity and the right conversations.
