Description

Cometa-Last Queen of Sheba is a fiction work that takes human life in its entire complexity (mystery as many people would rather say) as the basis for creating a nebulous world where different dimensions rub shoulders: From biological, geographical and social realities we follow through the transcendental adventures of characters such as Pablo, the Portuguese master from Sorbonne Universitatis who in his forties travels from Paris to London and meets Missu another Portuguese misfit, a young, orphan posh who from London's rat-race and struggles had been already pulled back to her roots in Northern Portugal by Pablo's "brother" Rod. Rod - Rodrigo O'Sulivan - had come to London as a refugee from the turbulence stemming from Dictator Salazar's compulsory military work. In London he helped his spinster auntie to run O'Sulivan's Lettings. From her he had a fresh telling of his uncle who was killed by IRA in Brazil and his father who he hardly could remember. It was in London that Pablo and Missu got acquainted with charismatic Palomita and Quixote. Palomita's background is Mozambique and Quixote comes from the same village as Pablo and his "brother" Rod - lots of incredible exchanges, dramatic and beautiful experiences! In London, by the turning of the Millennium - A Café called "Pablos" had been created by Missu and O'Sulivan's joint venture - everybody seemed inspired to write and all these writings collected by Palomita were discovered at Ely's loft thirty years later by Gisela, Palomita's granddaughter. From that moment Gisela's inspiration couldn't be stopped - it was the past calling her to a future along a safe path, jumping freely from green planet Earth to the ethereal dimensions.
