Sylvio & Me: An Encounter in Exile

By Muriel Vasconcellos

Sylvio is a Brazilian professor fleeing the persecution of innocent intellectuals in his country in 1970. Muriel is a translator working for an international organization in Washington, D.C. When the two meet, it's love at first sight. After spending a total of ten days together, he asks her to join him if he applies for a job in Mexico. She quickly says "yes!" This true story begins as they arrive in Mexico City to start their new life together, then takes us through their journey of joys and challenges, tears and laughter.

The second half of the volume retells the couple's touching story in Portuguese. It also includes a collection of tributes and acknowledgments of Sylvio's achievements.
