About this title: Eduardo Galeano's is considered a passionate literary voice. In "The Book of Embraces", he employs parable and paradox, anecdote and dream, and fragments of autobiography to construct a passionate, ironic and joyful world view. The world reveals itself in a multiplicity of voices; what emerges is a brief for love, friendship, courage, perseverance and imagination. Galeano also wrote "Memory of Fire".

"Not only is this one of my all-time favorite books (filled with essays on life, love, oppression, politics, dreams, torture, survival, theology, and freedom) but it also has fascinating pen and ink drawings - a part of which is my new tattoo. A volume to read and reread constantly!"
"I think this is one of the best books I have ever read. I have quoted from it often while doing workshops and training sessions. Galeano's other books are stellar as well. I heartily recommend this book to those with a taste for the poetry of stories and the stories poetry tells."
"I read this book in the hallways of the Miami Dada public library around 1993 when "The System" and "The Culture of Terror" were meant to be the end of history. I have carried it with me sever since."
"I saw this book and thumbed through it at a friend's home and had to go out and buy it.
It is an English translation of an originally Spanish written book that is a compilation of poems and short stories that have, in many cases, political overtones like so many Latin American writers."
