Weekly summary: October 1st

This week we explored the novel "Fatelessness" with more bibliographical information and start reading the book.
 Fatelessness" is an autobiographical novel written by the Hungarian writer Imre Kertész (b.1929). It is a disturbing literary memoir about the Holocaust written from the point of view of George Koves, a Hungarian Jewish boy, who endures the German concentration camps during the Second World War. George responds with childish optimism to the horrific logic of that world and examines satirically the development of his own moral and intellectual reflections.

Fatelessness is also a psychological and historical novel about identity andfreedom and a powerful testimony of the role of memory in modern European culture. Adapted from <http://www.kakanien.ac.at/rez/MBorden1.pdf>

The next things we do were watching a video from the author telling his testimony and also a quotation activity for improving our English. On this week we started reading this "Nobel prize" book, I hope its a good one.
