Best of “The Intrepid Book Society”

Dear Readers,

After renewing its website, “Words in Ideas” is preparing its 3rd year of fresh new articles, starting in October. While you wait, you can read (or re-read) the best articles under the category “The Intrepid Book Society”. This “Society” is a fictional book club, analysing a book per month according to a keyword or a key place.

 

 
During the first year, articles were written as reviews. Here are the 5 best:

• 1. Key place: IRELAND | James Joyce
• 2. Keyword: INVESTIGATION | “The Judge and his Hangman”, by Friedrich Dürrenmatt
• 3. Keywords: ROMAN EMPIRE | “I, Claudius”, by Robert Graves
• 4. Key place: PARIS, FRANCE | “Das Parfum”, by Patrick Süskind
• 5. Key place: SIBERIA | “The Lost Pianos of Siberia”, by Sophy Roberts

 

 
In the 2nd year, fictional members discussed the plots between themselves. Here are the 5 best:

• 1. Keyword: MAIL | “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society”, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
• 2. Keyword: TIME | “L’anomalie” [“The Anomaly “], by Hervé Le Tellier
• 3. Keyword: FAMILY | “Hamnet”, by Maggie O’Farrell
• 4. Keyword: RELIGION | “Three Daughters of Eve”, by Elif Shafak
• 5. Keyword: WAR | “Das Boot”, by Lothar-Günther Buchheim
• 5. Keyword: HAPPINESS | “Le Petit Prince” [“The Little Prince”], by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

 
This 3rd year, “Words in Ideas” will test your knowledge (or, hopefully, making you curious in reading) the book of the month.
