Fernando Correia, journalist and commentator, will present his latest book “Diário de um corpo semmemory” this Friday, July 9th, at 18 pm, at Lídia Jorge Municipal Library, in Albufeira.
Published by Guerra e Paz, the work consists of «a testimonial narrative in the first person about Alzheimer's disease, of which Vera, the mother of her daughters, is a victim», says the municipality of Albufeira.
The presentation will be made by his friend – and also a journalist – Arménio Aleluia Martins.
The author shows that, even in the case of an inhibiting disease, with no possibility of recovery, the body, deprived of part of its memories, «can use a close and friendly soul to speak for itself, transmitting anguish, pain, tears, uncertainties, but also an enormous faith that it is possible to cross the desert that stretches in front of them together», says the editor.
