Anyone in Paris interested in reading Chinese literature together, in Chinese & French?
(華語 / EN)
大家好！我最近在想，是不是可以在巴黎組一個小讀書會，找一些對用中文原文閱讀中國文學有興趣的人，一起讀書，討論時可以用華語和／或法文。
我自己特別喜歡文言文、短篇哲學文章、隨筆、等等，也對中國大陸、台灣和香港的現代文學很有興趣。
例如，我自己很喜歡：
- 張岱《陶庵夢憶》
- 四書五經中的大部分作品
- 西西《我城》
- 白先勇《台北人》
- ... 比較短的文章
我們可以選一篇比較短的文章，一起閱讀，然後討論。想聊語言的話，也可以討論翻譯上的不同選擇、詞彙、句法等等。
我想組的是一個小讀書會，而不是正式的課程，希望參加的人是真的喜歡閱讀，也喜歡和別人一起討論作品。
華語母語者和法語母語者都非常歡迎。如果你的中文不是很流利，也完全沒問題 (我自己的華語也不是完美的！) 我覺得讀書會本身也可以成為大家一起學習的機會。
如果你在巴黎，覺得這聽起來很有趣，歡迎DM我。我想先看看有沒有足夠的人感興趣，然後一起安排第一次聚會！
Hi everyone, I'm thinking of starting a small reading group in Paris for people interested in reading Chinese literature in the original Chinese, with discussion in Chinese and French.
I'm particularly interested in classical Chinese and short philosophical writings, but also in modern literature (especially short stories) from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Some examples of things I personally enjoy:
- 《陶庵夢憶》張岱
- most of the 四書五經
- 西西《我城》
- 白先勇《台北人》
- and, more generally, short texts that are interesting to read closely
We'd choose a relatively short text, read it together (sometimes in Chinese), and then discuss it. The discussion can also revolve around linguistics if we want to discuss possible translation choices, vocabulary, syntax...
I'm imagining a small group rather than a formal Chinese class. Native Chinese speakers and French speakers are equally welcome. It would also be great to have people who do not speak perfect Chinese (that's my case), as we would also learn from the book club!
If you're in Paris and this sounds like something you'd enjoy, feel free to comment or DM me. I'd love to see whether there are enough people interested to get a first meeting together!
