About this title: "Walking Words" is a collection of stories drawn from the folklore of the Americas. Galeano places "windows"--vignettes and assorted flotsam, often illustrating paradoxes--between the stories. The stories feature characters such as Calamity Jane, St. George, tango dancers, warlocks, shoemakers and poets. Galeano describes himself as a "Magical Marxist."

Description: Borges, Jose Francisco. Near Fine in Fine jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Copy has rubbing. Tales and riddles and aphorisms and paradoxes become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world. Through the medium of Galeano's eloquent language and Borges's equally rich images, "reality" stands revealed as a poor imitation of the real magic of human life and imagination. Black and white woodcuts. Translated by Mark Fried. 328pp. Desirable! read more
