Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone
of Eduardo Galeano
Description
Throughout his career, Eduardo Galeano has turned our understanding of history and reality on its head. Isabelle Allende said his works âinvade the readerâs mind, to persuade him or her to surrender to the charm of his writing and power of his idealism.âMirrors, Galeanoâs most ambitious project since Memory of Fire, is an unofficial history of the world seen through historyâs unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano notes: âOfficial history has it that Vasco NĂșñez de Balboa was the first man to see, from a summit in Panama, the two oceans at once. Were the people who lived there blind??âRecalling the lives of artists, writers, gods, and visionaries, from the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century New York, of the black slaves who built the White House and the women erased by menâs fears, and told in hundreds of kaleidoscopic vignettes, Mirrors is a magic mosaic of our humanity.
