Aura, by Carlos Fuentes

We are very excited about this project at the Dámaso Alonso Library: a club that allows you to discuss your favourite books in Spanish in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We meet once a month to talk about a book previously chosen by the club.

Let us know if you are interested in literature written in Spanish and wish to talk about your preferred authors in the Spanish language.

Our next book club title will be: Aura, by Carlos Fuentes. This book is available in our electronic library.

A young mans narration to himself of amorous adventures in the past. There is love and passion, but the theme is more than amorous adventures. The theme includes the struggle against oblivion and death and the desire to prolong moments of splendor and beauty. Aura is a beautiful, profound, and disturbing story.

We recommend a C1 level in Spanish.
