French ambience with a Russian touch today?

Svenska:

Förutom professor Marcel Bénabou från Sorbonne som idag talar över sin bok på Hedengrens bokhandel, skall författaren och docenten i litteraturvetenskap Jenny Westerström på Lidingö bibliotek presentera sin bok 'Klara var inte Paris. Bohemliv under två sekel'.
Fransk anknytning även där m.a.o.

Förutom detta är det en konsert - gratis - på Musikhögskolan i Stockholm ikväll klockan 19.00: 'En kväll med Tjajkovskij' där man bl.a. spelar hans stråkkvartett 'Souvenir de Florence'.


English:

Besides professor Marcel Bénabou from Sorbonne who is talking about his book at Hedengrens bookstore, the author and senior lecturer in Comparative litterature Jenny Westerström is going to talk about her book 'Klara was not Paris. Bohemian life during two centuries' (my translation).
French connection in this case to. (Klara was a district of Stockholm city, demolished when the 'new' city was built in the 1960's. In this part of the town one could find many bohemians, artists, writers well knowon in Sweden and in some cases abroad. Nils Ferlin to mention one).

At The Royal College of Music there is a concert tonight - free of charge - at 7 pm: 'A night with Tjajkovskij' and among other musical pieces they perform his string quartet 'Souvenir de Florence'.
