LITERARY GATHERING
THE PROMISE
Monday 15th June at 18:30 at Marbella Club
We will be discussing La promesa (The promise) (Lumen, 2023, 120 pages) by Silvina Ocampo. Written over the course of almost three decades and published posthumously, this “phantasmagorical novel” – as Ocampo herself described it – a blend of invented memories, both her own and those of others, invites us to enter the world of this great Argentine author, to consider other forms of writing and other ways of reading. For reflection and discussion.
We look forward to seeing you!
(Only for AMUM members)

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
HILDEGARDA FON BINGEN
(Summer of 1098 – Rupertsberg Abbey, 17 September 1179) was a German Benedictine abbess and polymath, active as a composer, writer, philosopher, scientist, naturalist, physician, mystic, monastic leader and prophetess during the High Middle Ages.
It was Abbess Hildegard of Bingen who came up with the idea of adding hops to fermented beer, which is what gives it its characteristic bitterness and allows it to be stored for much longer.
