The Dog-Ear Club is the book club of NeurAstra. It is hosted every month from September to June.
The concept is simple: we pick a book, read it, and discuss it together (in French).
This year we’re diving into Jules Verne’s bibliography with purpose: ten books in ten months to examine how his “scientific romance” shaped modern imagination. We’re reading to trace recurring motifs—subterranean voyages, polar frontiers, engineered worlds—and to test Verne’s twin impulses of optimism and caution against today’s ethics of exploration, technology, and planet stewardship. Expect close reading, historical context, and fresh connections across the oeuvre; the aim is to sharpen curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of wonder without naïveté.
As well as our regular monthly read-and-discuss, we’ve created this year a collaborative board for your thoughts, notes, and feedback on the readings:
COLLABORATIVE READING BOARD.
