Eduardo Galeano är en av Latinamerikas främsta författare, som avled 2015. Hans mest omtalade bok är Latinamerikas öppna ådror. Han hade en ledstjärna som följde honom, även i exilen: "Ingensanning är större än sökandet efter sanning."
När dessa krönikor i Omfamningarnas bok första gången gavs ut var militärdiktaturen i Uruguay borta och författaren hade återvänt från sin europeiska exil. Så här skrev en recensent i Svenska Dagbladet när boken översattes till svenska: "Ge bort den till någon ung människa som du tycker om. Om du läser den själv först, så har ni samtalsämnen i många år." Omfamningarnas bok innehåller många träffsäkra lyriska berättelser. Dessutom har författaren själv gjort alla fantasifulla illustrationer i boken.
Så här skrev en recensent i New York när boken kom ut i USA: "Eduardo Galeano är en utmanande radikal historieberättare, som Gabriel Garcia Marquez, som Isabel Allende, och som tidigare Pablo Neruda The Book of Embraces (Omfamningarnas bok) är en mosaik, eller Diego Riveras muralmålningar i ord."
Eduardo Galeano tecknade som ung karikatyrer i veckotidningar, blev kulturjournalist och sedan chefredaktör. Redan när han var 31 år gavs Latinamerikas öppna ådror ut, en modig anklagelse mot europeisk och nordamerikansk kolonialism som gjorde succé världen över.
Efter militärkuppen 1973 i Uruguay tvingades Eduardo Galeano fly, först till Argentina. När militärkuppen 1976 också kom till Argentina flydde han till Spanien. Det var där han började skriva krönikorna i Omfamningarnas bok, som publicerades i Spaniens största dagstidning. När han återvände till Uruguay 1985 fortsatte han skriva dessa lyriska betraktelser.
Eduardo Galeano växte upp i Montevideo i Uruguay. Han blev både folkkär och en engagerad intellektuell med många böcker bakom sig. 2015 avled han 74 år gammal.

'Football is a pleasure that hurts'This unashamedly emotional history of football is a homage to the romance and drama, spectacle and passion of a 'great pagan mass'. Through stories of superstition, heartbreak, tragedy, luck, heroes and villains, those who lived for football and those who died for it, Eduardo Galeano celebrates the glory of a game that - however much the rich and powerful try to control it - still retains its magic.'The Uruguayan whose writing got right to the heart of football ... readers were never in doubt of the warmth of the blood running through his veins' Guardian'Galeano can run rings round our glamorous football intelligentsia' When Saturday Comes'Stands out like Pele on a field of second-stringers' New Yorker

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx.Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe.Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably.This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.

From Eduardo Galeano, one of Latin America's greatest living writers, author of the Memory of Fire trilogy, comes Children of the Days, a new kind of history that shows us how to remember and how to liveThis book is shaped like a calendar. Each day brings with it a story: a journey, feast or tragedy that really happened on that date, from all possible years and all corners of the world. From Abdul Kassem Ismail, the tenth-century Persian who never went anywhere without his library - all seventeen thousand books of it, on four hundred camels; to the Brazilian city of Sorocaba, which on February 8 1980 responded to the outlawing of public kissing by becoming one huge kissodrome; to July 1 2008, the day the US government decided to remove Nelson Mandela's name from its list of dangerous terrorists, Children of the Days takes aim at the pretensions of official history and illuminates moments and heroes that we have all but forgotten. Through this shimmering historical mosaic runs a common thread, one that joins humanity's darkest hours to its sweetest victories. Children of the Days is the story of our lives.'Passionate and humane ... so funny and so moving' - Philip Pullman'Galeano performs the sort of extraordinary feats of compassion, artistry, and imagination achieved in fiction by his fellow visionary Latin American writers, especially Borges, García Márquez, and Bolaño' - Booklist, starred reviewEduardo Galeano is one of Latin America's most distinguished writers.

Eduardo Galeano's is considered a passionate literary voice. In "The Book of Embraces", he employs parable and paradox, anecdote and dream, and fragments of autobiography to construct a passionate, ironic and joyful world view. The world reveals itself in a multiplicity of voices; what emerges is a brief for love, friendship, courage, perseverance and imagination. Galeano also wrote "Memory of Fire".

In Walking Words world-renowned author Eduardo Galeano draws on the folklore of rural and urban Latin America to discover and retell "the stories of ghouls and fools that Id like to write." These tales are beautifully illustrated by his collaborator, the Brazilian woodcut artist José Francisco Borges, and become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world.

Selected by Guernica magazine as an "Editors' Picks: Best of 2013"Unfurling like a medieval book of days, each page of Eduardo Galeano's Children of the Days has an illuminating story that takes inspiration from that date of the calendar year, resurrecting the heroes and heroines who have fallen off the historical map, but whose lives remind us of our darkest hours and sweetest victories.Challenging readers to consider the human condition and our own choices, Galeano elevates the little-known heroes of our world and decries the destruction of the intellectual, linguistic, and emotional treasures that we have all but forgotten.Readers will discover many inspiring narratives in this collection of vignettes: the Brazilians who held a smooch-in" to protest against a dictatorship for banning kisses that undermined public morals" the astonishing day Mexico invaded the United States and the sacrilegious" women who had the effrontery to marry each other in a church in the Galician city of A Coruña in 1901. Galeano also highlights individuals such as Pedro Fernandes Sardinha, the first bishop of Brazil, who was eaten by Caeté Indians off the coast of Alagoas, as well as Abdul Kassem Ismael, the grand vizier of Persia, who kept books safe from war by creating a walking library of 117,000 tomes aboard four hundred camels, forming a mile-long caravan.Beautifully translated by Galeano's longtime collabourator, Mark Fried, Children of the Days is a majestic humanist treasure that shows us how to live and how to remember. It awakens the best in us.

Throughout his career, Eduardo Galeano has turned our understanding of history and reality on its head. Isabelle Allende said his works invade the reader's mind, to persuade him or her to surrender to the charm of his writing and power of his idealism." Mirrors , Galeano's most ambitious project since Memory of Fire , is an unofficial history of the world seen through history's unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano notes: Official history has it that Vasco Núñez 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??" Recalling 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 men's fears, and told in hundreds of kaleidoscopic vignettes, Mirrors is a magic mosaic of our humanity.

In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends

Este libro ha sido escrito para que no se vayan. En estas páginas se unen el pasado y el presente. Renacen los muertos, los anónimos tienen nombre: los hombres que alzaron los palacios y los templos de sus amos; las mujeres, ignoradas por quienes ignorar lo que temen; el sur y el oriente del mundo, despreciados por quienes desprecian lo que ignoran; los muchos mundos que el mundo contiene y esconde; los pensadores y sentidores; los curiosos, condenados por preguntar, y los rebeldes y los perdedores y los locos, que han sido y son la sal de la tierra.

"Yo he venido al taller de José Borges para invitarlo a que trabajemos juntos. Le explico mi proyecto: imágenes de él, sus artes de grabado, y palabras mías. Él calla. y yo hablo y hablo, explicando. y él nada. y así sigue siendo, hasta que de pronto me doy cuenta: mis palabras no tienen música. Estoy soplando en flauta quebrada. Lo no nacido no se explica, no se entiende: se siente, se palpa cuando se mueve. Y entonces dejo de explicar; y le cuento. Le cuento las historias de espanto y de encantos que yo quiero escribir, voces que he recogido en los caminos y sueños míos de andar despierto, realidades deliradas, delirios realizados, palabras andantes que encontré -o fui por ellas encontrado. Le cuento los cuentos; y este libro nace.Con grabados de José Borges"

"Hace ciento treinta años, después de visitar el país de las maravillas, Alicia se metió en un espejo para descubrir el mundo al revés. Si Alicia renaciera en nuestros días, no necesitaría atravesar ningún espejo: le bastaría con asomarse a la ventana.En el nuevo milenio, el mundo al revés está a la vista: es el mundo tal cual es, con la izquierda a la derecha, el ombligo en la espalda y la cabeza en los pies.En este libro Galeano muestra por qué el mundo está al revés. Recuerda a Alicia en su viaje a través del espejo y así, recorre temas como la impunidad del poder, la sociedad de consumo, la injusticia, el racismo y el machismo. El autor se destaca en esta obra por su inconfundible estilo que cruza el ensayo, la poesía, la narración y la crónica para mostrar sin tapujos las miserias de la sociedad contemporánea."Un libro magistral. Parece obra de un fabulista, pero las fábulas son verdaderas." (Jean-Pierre Thibaudat, Libération, Francia)"Tiene la acidez y el humor de Jonathan Swift. ¿Qué otro escritor puede hacer que los esqueletos dancen, como Galeano hace?" (The New Yorker, EEUU)"Escuchar la voz de Galeano no sólo es útil. Es un placer." (Fernando Parra, Le Monde Diplomatique, España)"Eléctrico y estimulante. Galeano es un escritor de feroz integridad, un poeta de la condición humana..." (selección de los mejores libros del año de The Village Voice, EEUU)"

"Me pregunto: ¿Tendrá todavía destino la literatura, en este mundo donde todos los niños de cinco años son ingenieros electrónicos? Y quisiera responderme: Quizá el modo de vida de nuestro tiempo no resulte demasiado bueno para la gente, ni para la naturaleza; pero es sin duda muy bueno para la industria farmacéutica.¿Por qué no podría ser también muy bueno para la industria literaria? Todo depende del producto que se ofrezca, que ha de ser tranquilizante como el valium y brilloso y light como un show de la tele: que ayuda a no pensar con riesgo ni a sentir con locura, que evite los sueños peligrosos y que sobre todo evite la tentación de vivirlos. Pero ocurre que ésa es exactamente la literatura que no soy capaz de escribir ni de leer.Eduardo Galeano."
