Luiz Schwarcz (São Paulo, Brazil) founded the publishing house Companhia das Letras together with his wife in 1986. For his cultural commitment, he has received major awards and recognition, including the prize granted by the newspaper O Globo to those who «have helped make Brazil and the world a better place.» In 2017, Schwarcz – who is also the author of five books published in various countries, in Italy by Feltrinelli – was honoured with the London Book Fair Lifetime Achievement Award
