Description

This summer we’ll dive together into a fictional world to explore a central text in the tradition of our Faith & Fiction summer program.

After consulting with the Collegium community, the winner for this summer’s novel of choice is:

Laurus by Eugene Vodolazkin

“Love, faith, and a quest for atonement are the driving themes of an epic, prizewinning Russian novel that, while set in the medieval era, takes a contemporary look at the meaning of time... With flavors of Umberto Eco and The Canterbury Tales, this affecting, idiosyncratic novel ... is an impressive achievement.”

If you’d like to join in the conversation, just email Jess to RSVP and to secure your free copy of the book at jferro@sas.upenn.edu.

We’ll have copies available here in the office at 3814 Walnut St., so feel free to email and come by to grab your copy!
