About The European Book Club
The European Book Club was founded in 2020 by a group of literature enthusiasts who wanted to celebrate and explore the incredible diversity of European writing. From the philosophical depths of Dostoevsky to the modernist innovations of Woolf, from the magical realism of Allende to the contemporary voices reshaping European literature today.
Our Mission
We believe that European literature offers unparalleled insights into the human condition, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, historical upheaval, and artistic innovation. Our mission is to create a welcoming space where readers can discover these treasures together, share perspectives, and deepen their appreciation for the written word.
