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. In the flower month of year 176 of the Revolutionary calendar, a series of rebellions took to the streets of Paris. They echoed radical changes and countercultural movements that were taking place around the world, such as the Situationists, the Provos, and the Diggers. This period is remembered in this book through the voices of some of its protagonists, often speaking in the heat of the moment, in a book in honor of the 55th anniversary of this uprising that radically changed Western culture.

Interviews and testimonials by Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Jean-Paul Sartre, Edgar Morin, Henri Lefebvre, Roel Van Duyn, Rudi Dutschke, Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Alan Watts, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Timothy Leary, Barry Miles, Peter Berg, Peter Coyote, and Abbie Hoffman.
