A review by peanutismynamo
Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History by Eduardo Galeano
4.0
If you love history, this is a great read. 365 days of remarkable happenings around the world, for the most part. What I found fascinating about this book was that it is written from a Latin-American point of view. Galeano was a much beloved Uruguayan journalist, writer and novelist.
I found his views on historical events in North America quite revealing. It was refreshing to read from a new point of view instead of the history that we all have been spoon-fed. I also enjoyed his great wit threaded throughout the book.
It's a great read with most entries not much more than a page.
