This is a mutual self-help group for those who know enough of the Russian language to enjoy reading literature. It may be useful to have an electronic device of some kind, as some of the Russian Classics are not easy to find in print, but are in the public domain and free to download. This is the case for 'Childhood ', by Maxim Gorky, which we will continue reading in the Autumn Term. We prepare an agreed number of pages at home, and take turns on the day to read and translate a couple of paragraphs to satisfy ourselves we have understood the original text. Any comments are very welcome and are in English. Cost: as per book if relevant dictionary, device (U3AC has free Wi-Fi).
