She sells product in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Lebanon. Last October, she was invited to curate the Jewellery & Watch Show (JWS) in Abu Dhabi. Ana Marcia has been going to events in that region for 14 years now. “It wasn’t easy. It’s a competitive market. It’s a market with the best in the world, in all aspects. They have the best, so, really, in order to enter the Arab market you need a good plan. You need to be very good, one hundred percent perfect and true,” Ana Marcia told ANBA’s Isaura Daniel. And the Brazilian researcher Fernanda Pereira Mendes will launch the translation into Portuguese of The Book of Muhammad’s Ladder, a collection of Arabic texts translated into Spanish, Latin and French by king Afonso X of Castile and León in the 13th century. “[Dante Alighieri’s] The Divine Comedy was inspired by a great work,” she told Thais Sousa. Just like in the Italian poem, the Arab story tells of how its main character, Muhammad, visits places in heaven and hell, guided by the Angel Gabriel. According to the translator, this influence was due to Arab presence in Southern Europe. |
