Gilberto Freyre - Encontros

<p>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. Gilberto Freyre was one of the greatest Brazilian intellectuals author of classics such as Casa Grande & Senzala. The interviews gathered here reveal aspects of the complexity of his thought: innocent and shrewd autobiographical and impersonal poetic and scientific provincial and universalist. Above all he's a great writer with his colloquial and intimate prose abused and brilliant that imposes itself in a familiar conversational rhythm without losing the thread of the great revelations. </p>
