Hotel Le Littré welcomes Nobel Prize winner in literature

  • 10/10/2023
  • Events

A long life storyPlaywright, essayist, poet, novelist and political activist, Soyinka Wole is known as the first African author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he received in 1986. Having grown up in Aké (Bella Kota), he uses the experience of where it all began to write his autobiography. From an early age, he was imbued with all the world’s knowledge. He sees with his child’s eyes: a mixture of all his precious memories, all the people he has come into contact with, his culture and political ideas. He was fascinated by his father’s world, from which he drew the devotion of his commitment, particularly to Isara, his father’s village.  After studying literature in England, he began his career as a playwright, founding several theater companies, including the 1960 Masks Drama Troupe. He describes theater as a moving, exhilarating and spiritual experience. His plays include Le Lion et la Perle (1959), La Danse de la Forêt (1960) and Les Tribulations de Frère Jéro (1959). With more than one string to his bow, he mastered the full range of literary styles, drawing his creativity from outside the university context. His political dedication, an integral part of his life, is remarkable. Indeed, he supported the independence movement in Biafra, a state in south-eastern Nigeria, a commitment that led to two years’ imprisonment and exile. Between his imprisonment and exile, he taught at the university, where he left an indelible mark that benefited his students. He uses his culture to show its richness through the study of literature. ,When he was awarded the Nobel Prize, he represented his country in traditional dress, defending Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned at the time, and asserting his political aspirations and intellectual convictions.   Soyinka Wole at the Hôtel Le Littré The author travels the world to give interviews and lectures. The Hôtel Le Littré has played host to media figures including film-makers, writers and actors. The writer stayed at our establishment to give an interview for the magazine La Croix Hebdo on the occasion of the release of his latest novel in August 2023, which will be published shortly. Indeed, his long-awaited latest novel, Les chroniques du pays des gens les plus heureux du monde, was published in 2023, after a hiatus of half a century. He denounces the corruption of the elites through two friends who face a journey fraught with pitfalls. Doctor Menka faces the harsh reality of organ trafficking, while his oldest friend, Durole Payne, is destined for a prestigious position at the United Nations. But his enemies seem determined to stop him. This novel marks the author’s return to the international stage and establishes him as a political activist.  His works have always been the marker of his political ideas, in which he denounces colonialism, corruption and the trampling of individual and collective freedoms. He also recounts his own experiences through his autobiography, Aké the years of childhood, a best-selling book that is now studied in preparatory classes. He uses all literary styles to communicate the complexity of his thinking, publishing essays as well as poems rich in the history and culture of his people.   Soyinka Wole is “The writer who stages a dramatic representation of existence in a vast cultural perspective enriched by poetic resonances”.

Wine tasting evenings at the Hotel Le Littré Paris

  • 08/12/2021
  • Events

France is the land of wine. Hotel Le Littré offers wine tasting evenings, to learn how to savor and choose between the different grape varieties. Whether you are passing through Paris or living in the neighborhood, discover the wines, their history and their pairings. Learn to taste wine Oenology is a discipline that has more and more followers. You don’t have to be familiar with wines to appreciate a grape variety. Getting together for a wine tasting is also a festive and social activity, to be shared with family or friends. Take the opportunity to discover little-known wines, rediscover classics or savor exceptional bottles. Each time, an oenologist will come to share his knowledge, around a region or a grape variety. Burgundy wines, Bordeaux grands crus, Loire wines… Do you know which type of wine you prefer? The wine evenings are organized according to different themes:around a wine-growing region, for example Burgundy, through several appellations (Chablis, Côte-de-Nuit, Côte-de-Beaune, Mâcon, etc.); around a grape variety, such as chardonnay or pinot; around a domain, in order to discover the full range of one or more producers; around the same wine, through the vintages, a wine tasting that takes you back in time!Grapevines in Paris? As surprising as it may seem, there are vineyards in Paris. The oldest and most famous is that of Montmartre, but there is also one not far from Montparnasse, just a stone’s throw from the Hotel Le Littré. In the 15th arrondissement, in Georges Brassens Park, grow over 700 vines of Pinot Noir are grown, Perlette and Pinot Meunier. These vines bear witness to the capital’s wine-growing past from the Middle Ages. Each year, since 2011, more than 250 bottles of this “Clos des Morillons”, maintained by the municipal services of the city of Paris, have been auctioned, for the benefit of local associations. A little further, in Bercy, the Yitzhak Rabin garden has also, since 1996, been welcoming more than 600 m² of sauvignon and chardonnay. There are also vines at Buttes-Chaumont and Belleville. Both oenology courses and wine tastings, the genial wine evenings at Hotel Le Littré are an opportunity to discover this universe rich in flavors and history in the cosy private bar of the hotel, the Vérandabar.
