Inspired by the dilemmas of their daily lives in their native Maputo, writers Eduardo Quive and M\u00e9lio Tinga wrote \u2018Mutiladas\u2019 and \u2018Nevoa na Sala\u2019, respectively.
\r\nBoth works address global problems such as war and poverty, starting from their own reality. This element was one of the most highlighted by essayists Sara Jona La\u00edsse and Ant\u00f3nio Cabrita, when they presented the books at the Franco-Mozambican Cultural Centre in the country's capital.
\r\nIn a voice borrowed from Matteo Angius, Sara Jona Laisse, who is also a teacher, said that \u2018Mutiladas\u2019 presents tales that refer to misfortune, which is why the most resonant themes are misery, inequality and the pain of the world.
\r\nIn her view, it \u2018speaks of the need to resolve social dramas and questions our citizenship and actions as humans\u2019. And he invites readers to reflect on the Mozambique of their time.
\r\nMeanwhile, M\u00e9lio Tinga talks about war and other subjects. War can be physical, sentimental or psychological. However, going into the obvious, he talks about the opposition between men, creating, for example, a character haunted by the ghosts of the men he executed.
\r\nIt is, according to poet Ant\u00f3nio Cabrita, about characters seeking redemption or \u2018waiting to be exhumed or confirmed as dead\u2019.
\r\nReading the work, in his opinion, \u2018there will be a temptation for the more distracted to read it as a flawed book\u2019. It's a question of choices, not for those looking for moral lessons or anything like that. One of its great merits lies in the fact that it is an extremely lyrical work, capable of winning major prizes, such as the \u2018Oceanos\u2019, one of the most important in Lusophone literature. \u2018The probability is very high,\u2019 he said.
\r\nThe books \u2018Mutiladas\u2019, by Eduardo Quive, and \u2018N\u00e9voa na Casa\u2019, by M\u00e9lio Tinga, are part of the prose fiction collection \u2018Penugem Animal\u2019, by Catalogus Autores, a platform founded by both authors to promote Mozambican literature.<\/p>\r\n
