KBK Bookclub #42 (June 21st) | Barbarian in the Garden by Zbigniew Herbert

I am glad to announce that the book chosen for the next KBK Bookclub meeting is "Barbarian in the Garden" by Zbigniew Herbert. The winning book was proposed by Hive account@psypek and supported by Hive account@aaiwan and Hive account@psypek. Another proposal was made by Hive account@foggymeadow (The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins), but received no proposals. I remind you that books can be proposed again as long as they are not chosen.

The meeting shall take place at Hive account@krolestwo on June 21st 2025 (third Saturday of June) starting at 19.00. The discussion will be held in either Polish or English depending on the language skills if the participants, but you are free to read the book in whatever language suits you best.

If you are curious about how the Bookclub is run, Hive account@przeczytaj presents all the details of the project. Have a read!
