 Ver.me.lho, by Anna Marcondes – Explores the subconscious and the intertwining of women's lives in São Paulo.

VER.ME.LHO, by Anna Marcondes, delves into the nuances of the human subconscious

The launch features six protagonists in narratives that intertwine in the

daily life of the city of São Paulo.

The writer Anna Marcondes launches her new book,

Vermelho (Red), a work that challenges the reader to traverse layers of symbolism,

images, and digressions that transcend conventional logic. With writing marked

by intensity and richness of detail, Marcondes constructs a literary mosaic in which six women, distinct in their experiences, are presented amidst the routine of the city of São Paulo.

As the stories intersect, they reveal pulsations, rhythms, and

senses that drive the narrative, inviting the reader to reflect on the human experience in its multiple dimensions. Inspired by the complexity of the visual and literary arts, the author creates pages that resemble pictorial compositions: dense,

symbolic, and open to diverse interpretations.

"Vermelho doesn't seek to offer ready-made answers, but to provoke the gaze and stimulate the reader's perception." The launch marks a new moment in the writer's trajectory, whose work stands out for its aesthetic boldness and ability to transform the everyday into impactful literature.

Zohran Mamdani: The New Face of Democracy in New York.

They can say what they want—but the new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, gave a true masterclass in democracy, humanism, and socialism. His election represents not only a political turning point, but a rescue of the true essence of the city that never sleeps: a mosaic built by immigrants, workers, and dreamers who crossed oceans in search of freedom and opportunity.

Mamdani, a Muslim, socialist, and TikToker, became a political phenomenon by speaking directly to the people—especially young people—through social media, using simple, didactic, and genuine language. His message was clear: the city belongs to everyone, not just the elite who profit from the sweat of those who sustain it.

While the President of the United States promotes an anti-democratic cleansing, trying to empty New York of what he considers "pollution"—the servants, the immigrants, the workers—Mamdani reaffirms that these are the people who form the beating heart of the metropolis.

In a time of harsh rhetoric and exclusionary policies, Zohran Mamdani emerges as a living response of resistance and hope. He is not afraid of being called a "communist" or "lunatic" by Donald Trump; on the contrary, he transforms these criticisms into fuel for dialogue and the fight for social justice, diversity, and real inclusion.

His inauguration, scheduled for January 1st, promises to inaugurate a new era in New York—an era in which progress once again walks hand in hand with empathy, equality, and the recognition of those who truly built the city's greatness: its people.

New York, finally, breathes a new air—the air of vibrant democracy.
