LiterarySojournsHEAR WORDS OF WISDOM AND BEAUTY FROM KRZYSTOF KOEHLER, PROFESSOR OFLITERATURE ANDprolific poet, as he holds forth on the intricate genius of Czeslaw Milosz in a historic coffeehouse in ancient Krakow. Join us on our literary sojourns and soon you’ll be reading Dante’sInferno at the beach and edifying your friends with trenchant literary criticism.With a syllabus designed by the Great Books Foundation, and itineraries planned under our Classical Pursuitsbrand, these trips offer the chance to share ideas about literature and art in a relaxed setting. The daysare made up of animated discussions in small seminars guided by a skilled and provocative discussionleader, a broad array of cultural activities, and ample opportunities to read, reflect and linger over agood meal and conversation. What makes our literary learning vacations special is the balance –we combine in-depth discussions of important texts with guided walks to immerse ourselves in thecultural and natural history of a place; informal talks that provide background and context to ourinquiry with generous amounts of unscheduled time. While literature is obviously the focus, we seekto illuminate the broader cultural milieu by examining all facets of artistic expression, from music andfilm to street performances and underground theatre.H ORIZON &C O.
