Our next Culture Club reading group session turns to Martin Andersen Nexø’s "Læreår" from Pelle the Conqueror (in Danish: Pelle Erobreren) – a novel that vividly portrays the social, cultural, and emotional landscapes of rural–urban transformation at the turn of the 20th century.

The reading group is an opportunity where we explore fiction that speaks to rural-urban transitions. Each session centers on a selected text, and we read it as a way of thinking together about how literature can illuminate the lived experiences, emotions, and complexities of transitions.

The session is open to all who are curious about how literary perspectives can deepen our understanding of change.
