Encontros (Meetings) is the largest and most prestigious book collection of interviews with Brazilian artists and thinkers. With more than 50 published titles, Encontros provides a broad panorama of Brazil's cultural and intellectual wealth. Not by chance, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda is considered one of the main interpreters of Brazil, author of classics such as "Roots of Brazil". After his vast intellectual production, his understanding of Brazilian art, literature, essayism, politics and history is not the same. Always focused on the main intellectual and participatory dilemmas of the country, he immediately makes it clear: knowledge of the past is linked to the problems of the present. This volume of the Encounters Collection gathers his main interviews.
