Eterno Galeano,nunca falla en inspirarme , en hacerme llorar y reir pero sobre todo en tener fe en la magia de este mundo gris.En darme fuerzas para mantener viva la llama de lucha por la historia y cultura de mi America Latina
Este libro tan bueno como los demás, en breves historias, ficciones,y anecdotas contadas a el o las suyas propias , logra exaltar lo bueno de la vida y las pequeñas victorias

"قرأت الكتاب وصدقته: من الصفحة الأولى صدقته.
ورغم أنني لم ألتق بالرجل مطلقا، صدقته وكأنه صديق قديم.."
صديقي القديم غاليانو , لقد حزت على قلبي تماما..

More like a book of lives and deaths and other things, condensed into little vignettes. Each makes you pause to think, some make you smile, others bring tears to your eyes.

In a way, I find Galeano's work like Kurt Vonnegut's in that both write in a manner that comes across as deceptively simple, quick & easy to read, but then you realize that it's so tightly edited, so finely tuned, that just a few words are as accurate & as powerful as a bullet between the eyes. Galeano's wide net of musings range from friendships, to art, to dreams, to politics, to society, to heartbreaking realities of poverty, racism, war, & violence. As with many Latin American writers, there are elements of magical realism that seem to float through some of his work. (Do the Muses give the Latin American writers some special spark?) It's almost like a collection of poetry or (very) short stories. But... not quite. Most items are maybe a paragraph or two, certainly less than a page, interspersed with some wild & strange line drawings. It's not quite poetry, not quite short stories, not quite a memoir -- it is its own original creation & a lovely one at that. So glad that I stumbled onto this Uruguayan gem of literature. Highly recommended.
