Analysing the photos taken on 17 October 1917 in Fatima by Benoliel, the so-called miracle of the sun, the author of this essay verified that in two of them tracks of smoke were visible and an object in the sky that, according to his knowledge of astrophysics and meteorology, could not be the sun. With many doubts about his discovery, he felt that the only way to check it would be to see the picture’s negative and confirm whether or not those objects and tracks of smoke were the same, or if they were merely extrinsic stains. This essay sheds some light on what went unnoticed by researchers for more than 100 years and it seeks to demonstrate that some of the photos are a unique testimony to the phenomenon that occurred in Fátima on October 17, 1917.
"Darkening Stars - A Novel of the Great War" is about a young law student who was drafted to serve as a platoon commander in the Portuguese Expeditionary Corps sent to Flanders in 1917. What happened to him and the men under his command, the small and great miseries of their life in the trenches, their links with what they left behind and what they lost, and the incomprehension they met upon returning home, are some of the main lines of this moving and historically accurate portrait of one of the most turbulent periods of Portuguese history. It is also a story of love and of a young man's inner struggles and personal growth, his determined search for peace and happiness, along a path strewn with destruction and trampled dreams.
