5.0 out of 5 stars Eduardo Galeano = the history day to day, September 24, 2004

By	Gustavo Verdier (Québec, Canada) - See all my reviews

Eduardo Galeano, once again, gives us a clear notion of world history through small little stories. These are stories of everyday life, things that may even pass unnoticed, small tales grandparents tell their children, tiny urban legends at times or just an almost forgotten fact. Full of poetry, historical value and human warmth... yet so easy to read. Delightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Again, something different, April 29, 2006

By	Ryan C. Daley "radioryan24" (Providence, Rhode Island United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bocas del Tiempo (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Galeano turns the mirror through the bars to get a different view. One assumes he hopes, someday, to break out. Each book is an attempt on that freedom. Not since El Libro de los Abrazos have small passages been used with such efficiency and artistry and to such delight.
