OverviewThe Simgle Most Important Literary Voice to Come Out of Latin America in Recent Times; Born in Uruguay in 1940, Eduardo Galeano is the celebrated author of the monumental trilogy Memory of Fire, a revisionary history of the Americas, and of the ground-breaking Open Veins of Latin America, the first serious revisionary analysis of Latin American History. Despite being Latin America's leading voice on issues of human rights, Galeano has been largely ignored as a figure worthy of critical notice. Eduardo Galeano is the first full-length biography and critical study of his life and examines all the events that have shaped his writing - from his close personal friendship with Allende, through the dictatorships in Uruguay and Argentina that forced him into exile, to the ongoing relationship between Galeano and Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Chiapas rebellion. The book also contains a great deal of new materials gathered from exclusive interviews with Galeano himself.
