Voices of Time: A Life in Stories

by Eduardo Galeano Translated by Mark Fried

A striking mosaic of memories, observations, and legends that together reveal the author's own story and a grand, compassionate vision of life itself

In this kaleidoscope of reflections, renowned South American author Eduardo Galeano ranges widely, from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, indignity, and indignation. In the signal style of his bestselling and much-admired Memory of Fire trilogy―brief fragments that build steadily into an organic whole―Galeano offers a rich, wry history of his life and times that is both calmly philosophical and fiercely political.
