Apresentando Maria Grazia – Parte 2
Now I love teaching about Jane Austen to my students – though it isn’t always an easy task to make teenagers, especially boys, to appreciate her work. I’m working on Northanger Abbey with my eldest students these days, we’ve just started and, they had never heard about Jane Austen in their lives before!Agora, eu adoro ensinar e falar sobre Jane Austen para os meus alunos – embora não seja uma tarefa fácil fazer com que os adolescentes, especialmente os rapazes, gostem do trabalho da escritora. Atualmente, estou trabalhando A Abadia de Northanger com meus alunos mais velhos, estamos ainda no começo, embora eles não tenham ouvido falar de Austen antes!
I also love discussing Jane Austen and her world with other Austenites both in real life and the blogosphere. This is why last year I accepted to lead a reading club of mixed aged women in my town’s public library. We read or re-read Jane Austen’s major six, one each month from January to June, and met the last Saturday of each month to discuss. I wrote about that experience on my blog, My Jane Austen Book Club, which I started at the same time. You can see some pictures from our first meeting here.Eu também discuto Austen e sua universo com outras Austenites, tanto na vida real quanto na blogosfera. Foi por isso que no ano passado eu aceitei conduzir um clube de leitura, composto por mulheres de diversas idades, na biblioteca pública da minha cidade. Nós lemos e relemos as seis principais obras de Austen, um a cada mês (de janeiro a junho), e nós nos encontramos no último sábado de cada mês para as discussões. Eu escrevi sobre esta experiência em meu blog ‘My Jane Austen Book Club’, que comecei na mesma época do clube de leitura da biblioteca. Vocês poderão ver algumas fotos do nosso primeiro encontro aqui.
I’ve become an eager reader and reviewer of Austen-based fiction and an even more eager watcher of Austen – based movies and drama.What has Jane Austen added to my personal life? Lots of emotions, exciting adaptations to be watched (What about Emma 2009? Just lovely!), new friends and acquaintances, an Austen – dedicated blog, a great deal of delightful Austen –based fiction, stimulating discussions and events … being part of an enthusiastic worldwide community!Eu me tornei uma ávida leitora e resenhista de livros inspirados em Austen e ainda mais ávida por filmes e séries baseados nos livros de Austen.
O que Jane Austen acrescentou à minha vida? Muita emoção, excelentes adatapções para assistir (O que dizer de Emma 2009? Simplesmente adorável!), novos amigos e contatos, um blog dedicado à Austen, um grande prazer pelos livros baseados nos da escritora, discussões estimulantes e eventos… fazendo parte de uma entusiasmada comunidade mundial !
