world we live in.
“Nowadays Esperanto has
already had a rich
literature.” The sentence
belongs to the professor
Benedicto Silva, who was
born in Cravinhos, SP, but
has settled in São José do
Rio Preto, SP. Translator of

Another highlight is the
Especial “The reincarnation
and the fear of freedom”, by
Professor Almir Del Prette,
who tells in his article
that the doctrine of one
only existence and the
plurality of existences are
based in two cultural
different paradigms. The
first can be named of
Salvationism. The second
which is on contrary to it,
can be called of
Evolutionism.
