Join us for one of Henry James' most popular works, the classic tale of the courtship of a vibrant, young, American girl, as she travels with her mother, across Italy and Switzerland, by a more sophisticated man. But, will her lack of understanding of social mores and friendship with an Italian man, lead to tragedy?

Join us for Voltaire's masterpiece, a classic, playful romp, with the young, naive Candide, who believes that "all is for the best," even when dealing with a hilarious tide of misfortune, injustice, suffering, and despair. Filled with wit, intelligence, and dark humor, this will cause the reader to ponder their assumptions about human behavior and their place in the world, as it attacks corruption, hypocrisy, religion, government, philosophy, science, and romance. "Candide" is ranked as one of the world's greatest satires, as timeless today, as it was in 1759.

Join us for what is considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written, an epic tale of the Napoleonic Wars and a celebration of the Russian spirit. This story tells, in graphic detail, the events surrounding the French invasion of Russia and the impact on society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian families. This is a spiritual quest for truth, conflict, love, birth, death, free will, and fate, with a huge cast of characters, spread out over a period of fifteen years.
