The launch of Vida além da vida was scheduled for June 30. Due to the intense heat of an early summer in Spain, a lower turnout was expected. No entanto, the opposite occurred.
The event room at the bookstore was completely full. With every seat taken, many attendees didn’t hesitate to sit on the floor or stand throughout the presentation. Dr.. Luján Comas described the moment as “impressive,” and Dr. Melo called it “emotional.” For both of them, it was a clear sign of support for the LUZ Project’s research and the educational activities of the ICLOBY Foundation.
After the presentation and signing a significant number of books, the bookstore closed its doors—yet a line of attendees still waited to get their autographed copy. The sidewalk became an impromptu stage where authors and guests shared impressions, laughs, abraços, signatures, and heartfelt thanks. No fim, everyone left with their signed book.
As the authors noted, all proceeds from the book go directly to the LUZ Project and the ongoing scientific research, which now involves 15 hospitals across three countries. Currently, several institutions in Spanish-speaking countries are evaluating their participation in the study.
Here we share some photos from the event.
