Remember that we reported that Frei Betto has a new novel, “Minas de Ouro”? For now we know the book’s release dates. In Rio, it will be at Esch Café, on September 6. In Belo Horizonte, it will take place at Grande Teatro of Palácio das Artes, on September 5. In São Paulo, the date is September 29, at SESC Vila Mariana.
* In this novel, the author describes the saga of the Arienim family over five centuries of history of Minas Gerais. Around a mysterious map of "inexhaustible sources of wealth," passed on from generation to generation, the narrative embraces episodes and iconic figures of the history of the State, such as the Emboabas War and Triumph of the Eucharist, the exploitation of gold and diamond, Aleijadinho and Tiradentes and the Morro Velho mine and coincidences between the explorer Richard Burton and the actor Richard Burton. A great tip for a Culturette!
