The Power of Reading, Café Martinho da Arcada (1984-1992)

The writing in this book is intended to demonstrate the Power of Reading, which is clearly seen in the beneficial influence over the reader or listener, irrespective of age, the relationship of friendship that can arise between author or reader and character, or during the uncovering of a path that can take the shape of a cause fought for with conviction.

To this end, the story of Café Martinho da Arcada in the 1980s is a clear example, with students from Marquês de Pombal secondary school as the main characters.
