A Morning of Reading Without Interrupting
All Library Centres - 10h00 to 12h00

‘Before the interest in writing, there is another: the interest in reading. And things are going badly when you only think about the first, if you haven't consolidated a taste for the second.

Friday 14th
Territories of writing... with Joaquim Teixeira
Riba de Ave | Library Centre - 21h00
Target audience: general
Nema's Path is a collection of stories that have somehow marked the author and make him want to recount events from times gone by. And it is on this ‘path’ that we come across suffering lives, realities so unknown to most. A time of misery and scarcity of so many things is portrayed.
Saturday 15th
Territories of writing... with Jean-Marc Marlier
Camilo Castelo Branco Municipal Library - 15h00
Target audience: general
The Invasion of the Wise Ants is Jean-Marc Marlier's first solo work, which came about after he responded to a call for new texts and authors from Flamingo Editions. It is an allegory that pays homage to the golden years of science fiction, tackling the themes of responsibility and the consequences of our actions and issuing a warning about the way we treat our planet.
