Peace, wisdom, simplicity

Delighted to be offering this class on Muriel Barbery's wonderfully philosophical novel, The Elegance of the Hedgehog! A publishing phenomenon when it was released in 2006, the novel asks existential questions about identity, meaning, and the purpose of life, as well as exploring issues such as class, suicide, and the often unconsidered difference between appearance and reality. The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a fascinating novel full of literary, philosophical and cultural allusions, and always sparks interesting discussions in class! Be sure to book your space today! The group will meet for three sessions from Wednesday 14th October 2026. Sessions will run from 7 to 9 pm (UK) online, via Zoom.
