“Out of the world of books by my humble social origins, it was in the Public Library that I developed self-taught. The habit of going to libraries became ingrained in me from the age of 16. My favorite place, arguably, was the Galveias Municipal Library, in Campo Pequeno, inaugurated in 1931 and still active today.It was there that one day I found a bound book, which was to me like another sun that was born”.
