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. Vinicius de Moraes was, beyond being a poet and a passionate composer, a man who lived intensely the culture and the history of the 20th century, taking part in its changes and living intimately with its protagonists. This book sheds light on his trajectory, showing in his own voice his thoughts and memories and illuminating important moments in Brazilian history, such as modernism and Bossa Nova.
