About this title: In this kaleidoscope of reflections, renowned South American author Galeano ranges widely, from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, indignity, and indignation to offer a rich, wry history of his life and times that is both calmly philosophical and fiercely political.

"We went to hear him speak - he was wonderful, I loved particularly his comment about how to worms, a plate of spaghetti is an orgy. JuanJo gave me his book as a present went I left for Rome."
"Pretty much everything Eduardo Galeano writes is great. My only beef with this book (which did cause me to lose interest in it for a while) is that it's not a memoir as I expected. I'm sure a number of the incidents/scenes it recounts are from his own life, but really these are few.
Still, it's great. Put together in his trademark mosaic style, & many many of the little story-chips are gems."
