reprinted works of the writer Eduardo Galeano 
News Agencies and literary sites on the Internet, disseminate information that has been widely accepted by the cultural society. The thing is reissued works Eduardo Galeano complete, good news to share.
Relaunches the complete works of Eduardo Galeano With the "Open Veins of Latin America", "The Book of Embraces" and "Muddled," the label 'Siglo XXI editors' put back into circulation the complete works of writer and Uruguayan essayist Eduardo Galeano.
Entitled "Biblioteca Eduardo Galeno" reappear in new versions a total of 15 titles, including "Football in Sun and Shadow," "The words errant", "Days and Nights of Love and War" "Memory of Fire" and "Voices of Time."
The editorial decided to start with one of the most emblematic books of the author, "The Open Veins of Latin America", originally published in 1971 and certainly his most popular, cited and translated (even at present, editions in 18 languages).
(Apart from the chronic, I believe that from 1971 to date, many circumstances and new policy directions, deserve an update by the author, together with 'Seven years later'.
What's remarkable is that even, much part of the text unfortunately, remains a tangible reality that accrue figures, perhaps for lack of determination of the states, to include a social agenda to allow reverse situations of extreme poverty and plundering of natural resources, among other scourges and spread blame.)
"I wrote 'The veins ...' Share ideas of others and our own experiences that might help a little, as realistic as, to clear the questions that haunt us forever: is Latin America, a region of the world condemned to humiliation and poverty? Condemned by whom? God's fault, blame nature? "says Gale. The test meets
chronic and stories that describe the constant looting of natural resources that sustained the Latin American continent throughout its history since the fifteenth century until the late twentieth century.
With a sharp style and stripped of artifice, Galeano focuses on economic events and runs from the gold trade and the sugar in the early days of the conquest to modern forms of plunder of raw materials like coffee, oil and cocoa on the continent.
The test is divided into two parts: "The poverty of man as a result of the wealth of the land" and "Development is a journey with more shipwrecked sailors, plus an introduction and a sort of conclusion entitled" Seven years later ", written just seven years after the first edition.
In " Book of Embraces, "which is also part of this first step in the revival of the work of Galeano, the content is more subtle and poetic, but no less certain.
" I think an author to write embraces others. And this is a book about the links with others, the links that memory has preserved bonds of love, solidarity. True stories experienced by me and my friends, and as my memory is full of so many people, is both a book of 'many,' "explains the author.
" The Book of Embraces "is a perfect synthesis more inspired imagination of its author: a series of short stories involving celebrations took place, prophecies, stories, dreams, memories and forgetfulness, some of them accompanied by etchings and drawings by the author.
"Fear dry mouth, wet hands and mutilated. The fear of knowing we are condemned to ignorance, fear of making leads to impotence.'s Military dictatorship, afraid to listen, afraid to say, we became deaf . Now the democracy that is afraid to remember, we are sick of amnesia, "reflects Galen.
Finally, the third title that accompanies this relaunch is "upside down", in which the Uruguayan shows why the world is upside down: reminds Alice of "Alice Through the Looking Glass" - and thus covers topics as impunity power, the consumer society, injustice, racism and sexism.
"One hundred and thirty years, after visiting the Wonderland, Alice got into a mirror to discover the world upside down. If Alice reborn today, would not require crossing any mirror, it needed only to look out the window "says Gale.
He stands out in this work by his unique style that crosses the essays, poetry, storytelling and chronic openly to show the miseries of contemporary society.

says:
NIGHT / 1

The moon has two nights old.
I a.
