[NEW DATE] Climate Action Book Club: End Times Fascism
Tue, Nov 24, 5:00 PM[Apologies, but our host, Backstory Bookshop, had a last-minute conflict and needed us to change the date.] The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you. Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €2 donation. You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

AL ESTE DEL EDEN, de John Steinbeck
Sun, Nov 29, 4:00 PMEn esta ocasión, hablaremos de Al Este del Eden, de John Steinbeck. ***Al este del Edén*** o ***El este del Edén***, a veces también traducida como ***Al este del Paraíso*** (*East of Eden*) es una novela de 1952 del novelista y [premio Nobel](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premio_Nobel "Premio Nobel") estadounidense [John Steinbeck](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steinbeck "John Steinbeck"). Narra la historia de dos familias, los Trask y los Hamilton, en el periodo comprendido entre la [Guerra de Secesión](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerra_de_Secesi%C3%B3n "Guerra de Secesión") y la [Primera Guerra Mundial](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primera_Guerra_Mundial "Primera Guerra Mundial") y sitúa el núcleo de su trama en el californiano valle de [Salinas](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinas_(California) "Salinas (California)"), lugar de origen del autor. La novela, construida a modo de monumental [epopeya](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epopeya) de evidentes referentes bíblicos, gira alrededor del problema de la naturaleza del Mal y de su relación con el [libre albedrío](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre_albedr%C3%ADo "Libre albedrío") y destaca por su magnificencia épica, su profundidad psicológica, la inusual riqueza de los secundarios y lo extremo de algunos personajes y situaciones. Estilísticamente, representa una evolución en el autor, que sin abandonar el [naturalismo](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalismo_(literatura) "Naturalismo (literatura)") de sus obras precedentes, pretende, simultáneamente, dotar de un evidente sentido alegórico a tramas y personajes, lo que confiere a la obra un sentido idealista. *Al este del Edén* es la obra más compleja y ambiciosa de Steinbeck. Fue considerada por el propio autor como la más redonda de sus obras, llegando a definir toda su producción anterior como un simple «entrenamiento» sin más valor que el de servirle como preparación del proyecto: *Creo que todo lo que he escrito hasta ahora ha sido, en cierta forma, un ensayo para esto.*
