Africa-Press – Angola. Former President of the Republic of Cape Verde, Jorge Carlos Fonseca, took advantage of his stay in Angola to present, at the Angolan Writers’ Union, his latest book, “A crana e a musa de mão in hands”, which portrays “memories memorable” and interventions by the former statesman, as well as the experience of Cape Verdeans residing in Luanda.
In the act, Jorge Carlos Fonseca said that the literary texts contained in the book are a “step of his daily life”, as President, the meetings with his counterparts and secretaries of State at an international level and the migratory way his people lived.
The presenter of the book, the writer and declaimer Lopito Feijó, considered that the work is of multiple seasons and for all occasions and places. “It carries with it a whole set of motives and motivations that shape the way of being of the people of the Cape Verde Islands”, he said.
For Lopito Feijó, throughout the various pages, “the Cape Verdean identity or rather the Cape Verdeanity of the people of those nine islands spread all over the world” appears impregnated.
“The crane and the muse hand in hand” is, from the Angolan writer’s point of view, “a book that is not sympathetic to the useiras and times of our chronological time and also of our current artistic and literary time”.
In the act, the secretary general of the Union of Angolan Writers, David Capelenguela, highlighted the fact that the institution that receives it hosted the act of presentation of the book of a former Head of State. David Calenguela offered 25 books to Jorge Carlos Fonseca.
Before Luanda, the book “A grua e a musa de Hands in Hand” had already been presented in Lisbon (Portugal) and in Praia (Cape Verde).
