SUMMARY:Virtual Class: Wendy Walsh - Continuing the Journey with Dante's Purgatorio (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Continue the journey with Dante on Zoom! Join Wendy Walsh for the reading and study of Purgatorio\, the second cantica of Dante’s Commedia. \nDante and Virgil begin their climb of the immense Mountain of Purgatory in the middle of the unpopulated waters of the Southern Hemisphere. Before reaching Purgatory proper\, they travel through Ante Purgatory and then up through the seven terraces\, each one reflecting one of the seven deadly sins. Their goal is the Earthly Paradise at the top of the mountain and along the way they will meet the many saved souls who are happily purifying themselves for their ascent to Paradise.  Purgatory is “where the soul of man is cleansed\,/ made worthy to ascend to Heaven. (dove l’umano spirito si purga/e di salire al ciel diventa degno” Canto I\, 5-6.) \nWendy Walsh has a PhD in Italian Literature from UC Berkeley. She has been teaching Italian language and literature since 1979.

SUMMARY:Online Intensive Literary Seminar Series - Anna Karenina
DESCRIPTION:Anna Karenina\, by Leo Tolstoy\nWhat if the best way to end 2020 is to read “the greatest work of literature of all time”*??\nAnna Karenina may clock in at 817 pages but—Kimberly swears to you—these are 817 delightful\, engaging\, thought provoking\, historically rich pages. Tolstoy’s masterpiece is full of insanely great characters\, forbidden love\, military intrigue\, vodka\, agrarian reform and lovable wise dogs—all told with much humor and super-accessible intelligence. \nHonestly\, who among us does not want to escape for a couple of months to snowy\, romantic Imperial Russia of the 1870s? \nIf you’re worried you might get bogged down\, never fear! Tom Stoppard’s film adaptation is a thing of beauty. Read some then dig in to the movie and come to Kimberly’s two lectures knowing exactly what’s up. \nPlease join the gang in tackling this literary challenge—the longest novel in the seminars yet. You will be so glad you did. \n*Debatable. But according to a poll of eminent writers by The Guardian. \nJoin Kimberly Ford\, for this two-part seminar series on Tolstoy’s classic Anna Karenina. We will be hosting this two-part series on the following dates: \nMonday\, January 11 – 5:00-6:30 pm \nMonday\, February 1 – 5:00-6:30 pm \nA copy of Anna Karenina is included in the price of this seminar series and will be shipped to you or can be picked up at Kepler’s. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor all shipping costs will be waived for this series. The book should be read prior to the meeting date.
