If you love to read books and enjoy talking about stories, we welcome you to Harmony Bibliophile!

Books provide a space where we can enter different societies and lives, where we can put ourselves in someone else's shoes. It sometimes helps us to see the society we live in from a different perspective and to experience the life of the other.

In the Harmony Bibliophile program, we will read the selected books for 4 weeks and hold sessions where we will talk about the stories every week.

In the first 4 weeks, we will discuss with you 4 works that reveal social values and the conflict of people and beings in different conditions and situations with society and people. Being a sighted person in a society that was all blind as a result of the epidemic, being a dog living in prisoner camps during the Stalin era, being a Jewish child in a concentration camp during World War II, being an Andalusian shepherd looking for his treasure in the desert… Books give us the chance to experience all these lives that we can't live and to get into the complex inner worlds of people.
