In early 1960, a few months after the Cuban revolution, Jean-Paul Sartre was invited to Cuba by the writer Carlos Franquin, then director of the newspaper Revolucion. Despite the bad memory of a trip made ten years earlier, the philosopher, accompanied by Simone de Beauvoir, flies to Havana and stays for a month. They accompany Castro on a 48-hour tour of the island. Castro confides to them "I am a revolutionary by vocation". Back in France, Sartre published a series of 16 articles on the Cuban revolution in France-Soir.
