講座内容

We will discuss how three eminent authors use the unexpected for our reading pleasure - and to challenge our assumptions and reveal hidden truths. The first gives us a bird's eye view of ancient Roman decadence, the second gives a shocking twist to history, and the third offers a playful and heartwarming Christmas mystery.

講義形式:Discussion of the interesting points we encounter in these stories.
