What will I read?
El sí de las niñas The Maiden's Consent by Leandro Fernández de Moratín.
“How often do we see unhappy marriages, monstrous unions, sanctified only because a foolish father undertook to order what he shouldn’t have...” (El sí 2.5).
Love, marriage, sense and sensibility:this play tells the story of how fifty-nine year old Don Diego is set to marry the beautiful, sixteen year old Francisca in an arranged marriage. Will love and sense prevail over nineteenth century Spanish custom?
The play, with its criticisms of religious superstition, only just escaped the Inquisition because Leandro Fernández de Moratín was a protegé of Manuel Godoy, the king’s right-hand man...
What does the course cover?
Discover and discuss a good read! Come along and join our club, it's aimed specifically at those getting to grips with a Spanish novel - so no need for perfect Spanish. This friendly group will tackle a popular read, supported by notes and comprehension tasks at home. Meeting monthly, club members will come together to discuss the plot, the characters and clarify meaning, discussing and evaluating their responses together.
Is the course at the right level for me?
For this course you should be able to discuss the book in relation to the plot, characters and structure, expressing opinions about the book you have read. You should feel comfortable describing the experiences and events of the book and dreams, hopes and ambitions of the main characters.
This course works towards Level B2+ of the Common European Framework for Languages standards.
What next?
The group will choose the next book to read in the Spring months.
