SUMMARY:CLS Book Club: The Orphan Master’s Son
DESCRIPTION:The CLS Book Club returns in 2018 with The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson. To RSVP\, email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org or call 843-723-9912. \nThe Pulitzer Prize–winning\, New York Times bestselling novel of North Korea is an epic journey into the heart of the world’s most mysterious dictatorship. \nPak Jun Do is the haunted son of a lost mother—a singer “stolen” to Pyongyang—and an influential father who runs a work camp for orphans. Superiors in the North Korean state soon recognize the boy’s loyalty and keen instincts. Considering himself “a humble citizen of the greatest nation in the world\,” Jun Do rises in the ranks. He becomes a professional kidnapper who must navigate the shifting rules\, arbitrary violence\, and baffling demands of his overlords in order to stay alive. Driven to the absolute limit of what any human being could endure\, he boldly takes on the treacherous role of rival to Kim Jong Il in an attempt to save the woman he loves\, Sun Moon\, a legendary actress “so pure\, she didn’t know what starving people looked like.” \nPart breathless thriller\, part story of innocence lost\, part story of romantic love\, The Orphan Master’s Sonis also a riveting portrait of a world heretofore hidden from view: a North Korea rife with hunger\, corruption\, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie\, stolen moments of beauty\, and love. \nAdam Johnson is the author of Fortune Smiles\, winner of the National Book Award and the Story Prize and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, and The Orphan Master’s Son\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize\, and the California Book Award and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Johnson’s other awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Whiting Writers’ Award\, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, and a Stegner Fellowship; he was also a finalist for the New York Public Library’s Young Lions Award. His previous books are Emporium\, a short story collection\, and the novel Parasites Like Us. Johnson teaches creative writing at Stanford University and lives in San Francisco with his wife and children.

SUMMARY:By the Book: Ceara Donnelley
DESCRIPTION:With an introduction by Executive Director Emeritus of SC Coastal Conservation League Dana Beach\, Ceara Donnelley will present a reading\, discussion\, and Q&A from her late father’s newly published book Frog Pond Philosophy\, a highly anticipated collection of essays by the Center for Humans and Nature’s founder and first president. \nTo RSVP\, please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nStrachan Donnelley (1942–2008) was a philosopher\, philanthropist\, and conservationist who studied the relationship between humans and nature. Using the term “democratic ecological citizenship\,” Donnelley argued that “our citizenship must be seen as embedded in nature\, or dependent on nature.” He is the author or editor of several works\, including The Brave New World of Animal Biotechnology and Wolves and Human Communities: Biology\, Politics\, and Ethics. In addition\, his daughter\, Ceara Donnelley\, and Bruce Jennings have prepared for publication a book he was working on at the time of his death\, Frog Pond Philosophy: Essays on the Relationship Between Humans and Nature\, which has just been released. \nDonnelley graduated from Yale University in 1964 with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. He then went on to study philosophy at Oxford University before receiving his master’s and doctoral degrees in philosophy from the New School for Social Research. For many years\, he was affiliated with the Hastings Center\, first as Director of Education and later as President. \nDonnelley’s father\, Gaylord\, was chairman and president of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.\, which is a large commercial printer founded in 1864 by Strachan’s great-grandfather. Donnelley chaired the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation from 1992–2003\, which during his tenure granted more than $50 million. He also served on several other boards\, including the University of Chicago\, the New School University (New School for Social Research)\, the National Humanities Center\, Yale University’s Institute for Biospheric Studies\, and the American Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation. \nIn 2003\, Donnelley founded and became the first president of the Center for Humans and Nature. As a self-described “fly-fishing philosopher\,” Donnelley founded the organization because he saw a clear need for a group dedicated to exploring the moral dimensions of human-nature relationships. Inspired by his early years of trout fishing and duck hunting\, he spent his life working to understand the different ways humans relate to the world around them. \nGiving himself to a lifelong career in philosophy and bioethics\, Donnelley was convinced the world was in danger of being consumed by “reductionistic\, silo thinking.” To solve the socio-ecological challenges in the face of rapid\, unsustainable human development and expansion\, he felt passionately that a holistic vision needed to be pulled from all corners of the thinking world—biology\, ecology\, economics\, engineering\, poetry\, the arts\, and philosophy\, among others. This interdisciplinary approach continues to serve as the backbone of the Center for Humans and Nature\, which works to bring deep and diverse thinkers together to think critically about human responsibilities to each other and the rest of the natural world.

SUMMARY:Henry V: A Film & Discussion Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society and the Royal Society of St. George\, Carolinian Chapter will host John Scott Cowan and John Shannon for a mid-day film and discussion seminar. Before and after a showing of the 1989 Kenneth Branagh classic\, Henry V\, discussions will offer insights on “Myths & Myth Breaking about the 100 Years’ War” and “Heraldry of the 100 Years’ War in Film.” Tickets are $20 for members (CLS & RSSG) and $30 for nonmembers. A boxed lunch is included in ticket price. \nTo purchase tickets\, please call 843-723-9912. \nIn this gritty screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s play about the heroic and ruthless king\, Henry V of England (Kenneth Branagh) determines to lay claim to the kingdom of France. Henry’s self-doubt and the diminished morale of his army stand in the way of a victory that would unite the two countries and provide Henry with a queen (Emma Thompson). However\, his sheer determination and his impassioned speeches ready his men for the bloodiest of battles — Agincourt.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Charlotte Caldwell & Brys Stephens
DESCRIPTION:Please join the conversation between restaurant critic\, now restaurateur\, Brys Stephens (The New Southern Table) and author and photographer Charlotte Caldwell\, as Brys delves into her fifth and newest book\, The Faces of Local Food: Celebrating the People Who Feed Us.   \nTo RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nUsing her photography as a springboard for storytelling\, The Faces of Local Food provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of people who contribute to a vibrant local food system. Step into the world of fishermen\, farmers\, and ranchers joining them on their boats and in the fields; into the kitchens of innovative chefs; into the warehouse of a local food hub; and meet with other meaningful contributors and visionaries to hear their stories—their histories\, motivations\, experiences\, challenges\, and insights. Through The Faces of Local Food our perceptions about our daily food choices are reframed and we are inspired to become more mindful consumers and purchase locally produced-sustainably grown food. The Faces of Local Food will debut at the Library Society on February 27th in conjunction with the Charleston Wine + Food Festival’s opening the next day. \nCaveat – Be prepared- you may metamorphose into a locavore. \nA native of Lookout Mountain\, Tennessee\, Charlotte Caldwell is a graduate of Middlebury College and holds master’s degrees in environmental studies and education\, both of which continue to inform her perspectives about the world\, the environment and ways to share those insights with others. Charlotte and her husband\, Jeffrey Schutz\, divide their time between their home in historic Charleston\, South Carolina and their ranch in Montana. Her previous books\, Visions and Voices: Montana’s One-Room Schoolhouses\, Kirby’s Journal: Backyard Butterfly Magic\, The Cow’s Boy:The Making of a Real Cowboy\, and The Cow’s Girl:The Making of a Real Cowgirl can be found at your local booksellers or online. \nBrys Stephens is a Charleston\, SC based cookbook author (The New Southern Table)\, and restaurateur (The Hub 30a\, Little Jack’s Tavern\, Melfi’s). Before opening restaurants\, Brys reviewed them as a restaurant critic for the Charleston City Paper\, and also wrote for Food and Wine\, Bon Appetit\, and Garden and Gun. He has also tested and co-written a handful of cookbooks. Brys serves on the board of Growfood Carolina\, a pioneering Charleston-based food hub.

SUMMARY:By the Book: Peg Eastman\, Richard Donohoe\, Maurice Thompson & Robert P. Stockton
DESCRIPTION:Join the authors of the new title The Huguenot Church in Charleston as they discuss the church’s history including the immigrants who helped create the congregation. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nThe Huguenot heritage in the United States cannot be overstated. In the latter part of the sixteenth century\, France was plunged into a series of religious wars. In 1589\, Henry of Navarre became Henry IV of France\, but peace was not achieved until he issued the Edict of Nantes in 1598\, which recognized the Huguenots’ right to worship in the towns they controlled. While Henry IV lived\, the financial and military security of the country was ensured. After his assassination in 1610\, it ceased. Religious persecution resumed\, and in 1685\, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes\, and many French Protestants fled. Of the estimated 180\,000 Huguenot refugees\, approximately 3\,000 crossed the Atlantic. This book is about their descendants and their influence on the development of the American republic and the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The Huguenot Church in Charleston\, a national landmark\, is the last Huguenot church in America. \nMargaret (Peg) Middleton Rivers Eastman is a Huguenot descendant. Her books have been published by McGraw Hill and The History Press. She writes for the Charleston Mercury and the South Carolina Historical Society magazine. She has lectured on various topics related to Charleston’s rich history and serves on the City of Charleston History Commission. \nRichard Powell Donohoe practiced architecture in New York and Connecticut before retiring\, first to Maine and then to Charleston. His Calvinist roots go back to Puritans of early New England. He is an associate member of the Huguenot Church\, where he serves as an elder. Volunteer activities include leadership roles in conservation organizations in New England. \nMaurice (Molly) Eugenie Horne Thompson\, a Huguenot descendant\, is active in the Preservation Society and the Historic Charleston Foundation and serves on the board of the development council for the School of Health\, Education and Human Performance at the College of Charleston. She is a board member for the Catesby Commemorative Trust and Capers Preparatory Christian Academy as well. \nRobert P. Stockton\, author of The Great Shock\, has written articles for magazines and the web and the News and Courier column entitled “Do You Know Your Charleston.” He teaches the history of Charleston architecture and other related topics at the College of Charleston and has served on the Charleston Board of Architectural Review.
