Short stories and an easy atmosphere to practise speaking and expand your vocabulary

Let’s put the kettle on and let’s have a relaxed chat about a nice story. This is the idea at the basis of our book club for busy people.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American writer. Both his life and his novels and short stories depict the spirit of the so-called Jazz Age of the 1920s. It was a period of economic growth and cultural dynamism, in which jazz music flourished. He said he belonged to “a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken”.
