Talk: Learning from Nature – Daniel Ogden

Talk ”Learning from Nature” – Daniel Ogden

UPPSALA | Thursday 11 April at 19.00

LEARNING FROM NATURE – a talk by Daniel Ogden

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it” (Often wrongly attributed to Mark Twain)

We tend to take the weather for granted, but should we, now that climate change is forcing us to re-examine our lives?

What can literature teach us about the weather and how it impacts our lives?

In order to answer that question, Daniel Ogden will discuss the importance of weather in a selection of works by William Shakespeare, William Blake, George Eliot, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf.

Thursday 11th April at 19:00

Tickets 70:- (incl. tea and cake). Limited space – get your ticket today!

Modern Fiction Book of the Month – March 2025

A sweeping novel about a single house in the woods of New England told through the lives of those who inhabit it across the centuries: young lovers from a Puritan Colony, an English soldier turned apple farmer, a lovelorn painter, a conman, a crime reporter, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle. Traversing cycles of history, nature, and even literature, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment and to one another, across time, language and space. It is an unforgettable novel about secrets and fates that asks the timeless question: How do we live on, even after we’re gone? // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //
