Driving in his jeep, free of his chauffeur, he arrived into a packed house: The usual seductive figure was talking on many issues, but at the end of the session a "small" detail was left out, there was no translator so that Sartre could receive questions.

But it was sooner than he imagined. In 1964 the military coup in Brazil forced him into exile and Celso was to spend much of his productive life in that city until his return to Brazil in the early 80's when the struggle for the democratic process and the construction of the nation started once again.


It must have been very hard for Celso to spend "much of his productive life" in that "city". What a romantic episode! Ernest Hemingway could not have done better.
