Grupo de Lectura del Call

Establishment of a Reading Group of the Call

The Library of the Call.

The Nahmanides Institute of Studies has launched the proposal of establishing a Reading Group of the Call. The aim is to promote reading and the interest in subject matters related to Jewish history and culture, while at the same time dynamising our library, specialised in Judaica. The response to this proposal has been utterly positive, and the group has already been set up with thirteen participants. During the first meeting, the reading for the first six month of the year has been decided together, as well as the activities which the Institute will offer in relation to it.

The following books were chosen

February: Remeis i traïcions, de Caroline Roe
(Edicions 62, Barcelona, 1999)

March: El secreto de la reina persa, d'Esther Bendahan
(La Esfera de los Libros, Madrid, 2009)

April: La maledicció d'Alietzer, d'Anabel Cervantes
(Alisis edicions, Barcelona, 2009)

May: L'Evangeli gris, de Vicenç Villatoro
(Edicions Proa, 1982, i nova edició Proa "Per conèixer la història de Catalunya", 1999)

June: L'Atles furtiu, d'Alfred Bosch
(Columna, 1998)
