Africa-Press – Angola. Angolan writer Dias Neto launched, this Thursday (28th), in Luanda, his fourth literary work “A Queda do Cão Cidadão”, which portrays Angolan daily life in ten short stories.
Each story portrays different facts about Angolan society, such as the responsibilities of public servants, cultural elements, spirituality, ethics and the addiction to anabolic steroids, commonly known as yard, in young people.
“Reading is very important in the life of a human being, because whoever reads a book is no longer the same person. Therefore, we will instill the habit of reading in our children, especially the works of António Agostinho Neto”, he said.
