Month of the young Beninese writer : An initiative of Editions Mémoire Héritage

Editing 2021 of the month of young Beninese writers was officially launched last Saturday in Cotonou by the house of Editions Mémoire Héritage and will end on 06 next march. This launch was marked by the official presentation of the poetry book “A long path of mystery” by the young Beninese writer and poet Frangilo J.. Gonçalves.

Aiming to promote Beninese literature through the promotion of young Beninese writers, the month of the young Beninese writer was launched on Saturday 06 February 2021. This initiative, which emanates from the Editions Mémoire Héritage house, gives a boost to the young Beninese pen through a series of launches of their written works..

For this first exercise, the honor was made to the young writer and poet Frangilo J. Gonçalves who presented to the guests his book of poetry entitled “A long path of mystery”. A book which, as the author reminded us, is interested in sensitive subjects of life and above all highlights certain gray areas of love., of the family, and social relationships. In his presentation, the author did not fail to mention the advantages of such a work "'' A long path of mystery '' flashes and solves certain key problems of African society, the Beninese one in particular,” he said..

 After several months of reflection and writing, Frangilo J. Gonçaves therefore comes thanks to the Éditions Mémoire Héritage to release his literary masterpiece. This book of poetry 180 pages far from being too many books is one more to better understand the realities of LIFE. LIFE not only as an African but beyond the cradle of humanity.

The medical student of his little experiment tells and tells the mystery of the earth. It takes as witness the realities of life and displays the qualities of the soul that every living being carries.. Nothing is more important than such a work to launch a month of promotion and enhancement of the Beninese pen and intellect..

Unanimously Frangilo was able to capture the attention of those present in the presentation room, receiving in the process the congratulations of the Founder of Editions Mémoire Héritage, Hector Hugues Zogo, of his teacher Eugène Zoumenou all seduced by the quality of the work.

 Waiting for other crisper works during this month dedicated to young Beninese writers, the discovery and tasting of this jewel of the native of the capital Porto-Novo is essential.

These four stanzas inscribed on the page 45 of this collection of poetry are not empty words, they explain later on towards the essential function that can be attributed to the Soul in this great mystery that is called LIFE.

 The voice of the soul lifts

The one who lowers himself

 To pick up what's thrown away.

  Like the power of a superman,

 The soul strengthens and strengthens

The one who carries her and whom she leads

On rare mountains and peaks

 where men on earth

Couldn't get to access.

The soul lives from our realities

 And transmit daily to the face

 The reflection of our courage or our storms...
