Galeano never disappoints. As soon as I got this book and started to read it, I could not put it down. His is a very well written historical account from a liberal's perspective. Galeano has chuck full of historical facts that I'm sure took a lot of research. I only wish that he had included a bibliography. I'd love to share these facts with some of my badly informed friends, who get their news from the mainstream media and their history from Hollywood (well not exactly, but you get the idea, let's conquer the West type of movies) a different perspective. I recommend this book whole heartedly.
I started reading Espejos in English and knew that I had to get it in the original Spanish. For Galeano no person or event is "sacred". Reading his vignettes puts the phrase "History is written by the winners" into a proper perspective. Because the stories are short and concise it is easy to stop and restart reading at any page in the book. His general thread of questioning authority would make the book a good starting point for discussion groups involved in social issues. Galeano was interviewed on C-Span's book reviews and was very happy with the English translation. I bought both the Spanish and English versions for my granddaughter who is a sopomore in high school.
Un libro para meditar y para compartir con amigos.Lo recomiendo a quien quiera aprender de la historia en una forma entretenida e inteligente.Debe formar parte de la biblioteca de cualquiera.Espero lo disfruten tanto como yo.
One of the most creative, sensitive and genious writter of these times. I recommend this book and other Galeanos books such as Futbol a sol y Sombra and El Juego de los Avalorios. This book is great, tells the history of the world in a very particular and truthful way.Ilove this book and highly recommend it. For the guy that says that this book is a non sense....his comment is a non sense.... :)
Como siempre Galeano produce otra joya literaria. Un libro extremadamente poético y político simultáneamente. Conciliar lo lírico con lo ministerial es posible solo en las palabras de un escritor comprometido por crear un mundo mejor como Galeano.
Lo recomiendo a todos los americanos, que quieran conocer la realidad de América Latina, su pasado y su presente, a fin de construír un futuro más digno.
Tengo poco que decir, pero mucho que pensar y que sentir. Excelente libro de una triste realidad, ojalá reparable o no?
