رودولف والشدر 27 مارس 1977 خبر درگذشت رودولف والش تنها از دو رسانه‌ی عمومی اجازه‌ی پخش داشت. هیچ‌کس اجازه نداشت برای او آگهی ترحیم چاپ کند. هیچ‌کس اجازه نداشت برای او مراسم مذهبی برگزار کند. هیچ‌کس اجازه نداشت برای او حتی یک شاخه گل سفارش دهد. دوست‌دارانش گفتند: "او چشم‌هایش را نبست، او نمرد، او فقط بدون خداحافظی رفت."رودولف والش در 9 ژانویه 1927 در آرژانتین به دنیا آمد. خانواده‌ی او ایرلندی - آرژانتینی بود. عشق به ادبیات را از مادرش به ارث برده بود. والش در جایی نوشته بود: "من در chole-chole به دنیا آمده‌ام. این کلمه به معنای قلب چوبی است و همیشه زنانی که به نوعی با آن‌ها بوده‌ام، من را به خاطر قلب چوبی‌ام سرزنش کرده‌اند."... more >>

CaféLitt is not a place; it is a gathering of minds. We are a group of mostly Persian young students, scholars and professionals who gather every Thursday evening around 19h00 in a café to discuss various subjects and share different ideas, ranging vastly from history to science, from literature to fine arts. We started these gatherings on Jan 18th, 2007. Each week, one of us takes the responsibility of presenting a topic (in Persian, English or French) for about an hour in a subject s/he is intimately familiar with or has an expertise in. Afterwards, the evening turns into a discussion forum and all members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask their question(s) and share their points of view.
CaféLitt is open to all comments, suggestion, collaboration and new ideas. CaféLitt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning about culture, science and philosophy in a relaxed and friendly environment, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with like-minded members of your community.
CaféLitt is officially registered as a non-profitable group and is a nonpartisan, nonreligious and nonpolitical entity.
