The three main Brazilian magazines highlighted, over the last weeks, the success that the movie Bezerra de Menezes – The Diary of a Spirit has been making. According to the magazine Época, the film is unpretentious and lacks a “plot that drags on in the film”, but it has not stopped it to become what the magazine called as “a new phenomenon of Brazilian cinema”. The explanation of the success of the movie, according to the magazine, would be, not the movie itself, but the topic – Spiritism, in face of the 20 millions of followers and adepts that the Spiritist Doctrine gathers in Brazil.
 

This is the editorial issue of this magazine, which also presents, as one of this highlights he interview the confrere Gerson Luiz Tavares, from Florianopolis (SC), delivered to our collaborator and editor Antonio Augusto Nascimento.

Former president of the Catarinense Spiritist Federation and an active lecturer in the Spiritist movement and qualification of workers. Born to a Spiritist family, he talks in this interview about his trajectory and the current moment of Spiritism in his city, Florianopolis, and his state.

Another highlight of this issue is the special story written by the confrere Enrique Eliseo Baldovino, which focuses on the activities the Compiler of Spiritism had as a translator.
 

Last week, the confrere Cosme Massi delivered, invited by the Spiritist Union of the 5th Region, two seminars in the city of Londrina, having as a theme “Mediumship and Moral" and "Notions of Education in Childhood", as shows the special story by José Miguel da Silveira, also part of this issue.
