Book Presentation
by the author
At the ceremony of Book presentation, it was a conference given by dr. Fernando Norton de Matos (AEP and former director of newspaper Comércio do Porto), , Prof. Francisco Pablos (member of Real Academia of Fine-Arts - Vigo, Spain) and Dr. Guilherme Brea (Director of sector Economical Culturalof Caixa Nova -Vigo, Spain).
I was a real pride and something singular to receive - two personalities from Spain to comment - even knowing that they came for Helena Amaral.
The audience was extremely selected. The environment social and intelectual of the audience also was extremely elevated and absolutely not usual from a city as Porto.
All the people present had very strong credits and they showed a real interest to know these so special news.
"Voici", some photos and comments of the cerememony of book presentation.

In my opinion the book deserved another kind of words. Norton de Matos was shy, Pablos very bad and only Brea gave a real positive note. If I was in the audience, very hardly I would buy the book after this "promotion".
In the middle of "conference " arrived Gen. Ramalho Eanes (a former President of Portuguese Republic) and his wife dra. Manuela Eanes, was a very positive effect for me.
One great moment for me, later on the bright Eng. Lourenço Castro and his wife Prof.a Elizabete Castro
