ANA GOMES, A VIDA E O MUNDO: BOOK RELEASE AT LIVRARIA LELLO

Wednesday, 9th of December, at 9 pm (GMT+1), with the presence of Ana Gomes and the author João Pedro Henriques.

For the first time, the book Ana Gomes, a vida e o mundo will be presented publicly, in a conversation between the former ambassador and former euro deputy, and the author and journalist of the Diário de Notícias João Pedro Henriques. The presentation session will take place next Wednesday, at 9 pm, at Livraria Lello, with live transmission on the Facebook page and on the Youtube channel.

In a long interview, Ana Gomes shared with João Pedro Henriques details of her private life and her involvement in politics, and some of the most remarkable stories she lived and witnessed. The conversation resulted in Ana Gomes, a vida e o mundo, a memoir, “narrated without a tongue in cheek” and with unpublished details about the current candidate for the Republic Presidency.

From childhood to today, from Meco beach to New York, especially focused in Timor-Leste, the work is a journey for 66 years of a life full of stories that intersect with the history of Portugal and the world.
