We are the ones in the shade; she isn't, she's at dawn

The above sentence composes the speech that the notable poet and novelist Victor Hugo, father of the modern French novel, made in the burial of the body of young Emily de Putron; the phrase refers to the deceased. Allan Kardec transcribed it in the Spiritist Magazine of February 1865. Emily's death occurred suddenly amid the joys of the family, whose sister had married days before. She was a happy young woman, to whom one of the sons of the great poet, Mr. François Hugo, had dedicated the fourteenth volume of his Shakespeare translation. But she died on the eve of the launch. The article is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the interview that educator and psychopedagogue Ilza Castilho Esteves Godinho, from Florianópolis (SC), granted to Orson Peter Carrara, of the editorial team of this magazine. Born into a spiritist family, she participates in the activities of the Spiritist Center Luz e Caridade, in her city, in which, in addition to acting as a speaker, she helps in the coordination of study groups, in the group of pregnant women, in mediumistic sessions and in obsession treatment.
