Would you like to keep up your Spanish while enjoying the pleasure of reading a good book and discussing it with others? In this literature-themed conversation course you’ll read several book chapters from ‘Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego’. In these wildly imaginative, devilishly daring tales of the macabre, internationally bestselling author Mariana Enriquez brings contemporary Argentina to vibrant life as a place where shocking inequality, violence, and corruption are the law of the land, while military dictatorship and legions of desaparecidos loom large in the collective memory. But alongside the black magic and disturbing disappearances, these stories are fueled by compassion for the frightened and the lost, ultimately bringing these characters – mothers and daughters, husbands and wives –into a surprisingly familiar reality. Every week you’ll discuss what you’ve read with your teacher and classmates. Through conversation and questions provided by the teacher, you will get to practice your Spanish and share your views on the book, while unveiling the secrets the book has to offer.

For this course a minimum level of B2 is required.
