  "account": "Dua Lipa's Service95 Book Club unveiled a permanent collection named Manifesto Library, a partnership with the historic Livraria Lello bookstore in Porto, Portugal. The collection encompasses 100 titles and 5,000 copies, grouped under four themes: power, control, voice, and memory. Among the selected books are Gabriel Garcia Marquez's \"One Hundred Years of Solitude\" and Hector Abad Faciolince's \"Oblivion: A Memoir.\" Faciolince expressed surprise and gratitude upon learning his work had been chosen, acknowledging it as a miracle. The Colombian writer believed the book would provide solace to those mourning his father, who was murdered in Medellin in 1987. \"Oblivion: A Memoir\" delves into the life of a physician and human rights defender who was killed during political violence in Colombia. Faciolince sees remembering as a means of preserving lost loved ones and facing harsh realities, thereby preventing history from repeating itself.",
