«فروید که پنجاه و سه سال داشت در آن لحظه به این نتیجه رسید که حوصله‌اش از امریکا سر رفته است. با شاگردانش سوار کشتی شد و برگشت. چنان که باید به غذای امریکا و نبودنِ مستراحِ عمومی عادت نکرده بود. عقیده داشت که در این سفر هم معده‌اش خراب شده است و هم مثانه‌اش. تمامِ مردم امریکا به نظرش هول و دستپاچه و بی‌ادب آمده بودند. خرید یک‌جای هنر و معماریِ اروپا، بدون در نظر گرفتنِ دوره و کشور، به نظرش مبتذل و نفرت‌آور بود. در اختلاط فقرِ عظیم و ثروت عظیم امریکا، به‌هم‌ریختگیِ تمدن رو به زوال اروپا را می‌دید. در کتابخانهٔ دنج و آرام خودش در شهرِ وین نشسته بود و خوشحال بود که برگشته است. به... 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.
