03/09 -The Astral City will be launched on the cinemas  

More than 50 years after being published in Brazil, “The Astral City” finally arrives at the brazilian’s cinema screens next Friday, 03rd September. This is the theme of this week’s editorial entitled, “The Astral City finally arrives at the cinema screens”. 

Amongst the highlights of this edition, we would like to call the reader’s attention to the interview conceded by our colleague Vladimir Polízio, from Jundiaí-SP to our colleague Orson Peter Carrara. Polizio is a spiritist for over 40 years and has published two books. During the last few years he has been studying cases related to the force of magnetism, which is the theme of his interview. 

Another highlight of the week is the special from Gerson Simões Monteiro, from Rio de Janeiro-RJ, about prodigy children. In his article, the well-known colleague laments the content of an article published in the July’s edition of the magazine  “Superinteressante”, in which the publication has made another mistake in writing an article riddled of “ithinks” and ironies. 

The “Caminho, Verdade e Vida fondation”, from Belo Horizonte-MG, has presented on 31st July, in Rome- Italy, the play "Duemila Anni Fa" (Two thousand years ago), based on the book "2000 Years ago,"by Emmanuel, as shown in the article written by Claudia Werdine, which is one of the highlights of this edition.
