But what begins as comfort turns into a dangerous dependency. Amar Depois da ia is a novel about loss, fragility, and starting over, a story that reminds us that grief is not the end and that, even in the digital age, human love remains irreplaceable.”

    Presentation of the book "The Meaning of Words" by Carlos Cabrita

    Presentation of the book "The Meaning of Words: A Serene Voice for Hectic Days" by Carlos Cabrita February 21, Vila Nova de Santo André "There are words that touch us like an ancient whisper. Others awaken us like the rising sun. This book is made up of these simple, intense, luminous words. Words that seek meaning in emotions, in everyday gestures, in what we feel and cannot always express. Carlos writes as someone who listens to the heart of the world. With delicacy and truth, he shares reflections born from encounters with thousands of readers on social media, on the radio, in newspapers, and in magazines."
