On October 18, a regular session of the FFL literary club ‘Izba-Chitalnya’ took place at the Resource Center of the faculty. This time the session was dedicated to the debut novel of the modern Russian author Guzel Yakhina ‘Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes’. The participants shared their opinions about the novel, about common and private history in the novel, about wise and strong people who survived the horrors of collectivization and war, and managed not to lose the ability to love and sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
The literary club has existed at the Faculty of Foreign Languages since 2015. The club was organized byCandidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of English Philology and Translation Studies N. S. Kurnikova. The club participants agree on the book in advance and meet once a fortnight to discuss it. At different times, the works of K. Abe, V. Astafiev, F. Backman, M. Barbery, H. Hesse, V. Zakrutkin, A. Camus, M. Cunningham, D. Keyes, S. King, J. Saramago, A. de Saint-Exupéry, M. Welbeck, S. Zweig, W. Shakespeare, etc. were discussed.
