Century of Wind
Century of Wind | Eduardo Galeano
3 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
The third volume of Eduardo Galeano's "Memory of Fire" trilogy, "Century of the Wind" offers a panorama of Galeano's singular vision of the past, turbulent century: from the bucolic New Jersey laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison to the armies of Emiliano Zapata and Fidel Castro to the Reagan-era CIA "neutralizations" in the forests of Latin America. Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written, "Century of the Wind" is a sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.

Eduardo Galeano is a master of prose. He uses a series of vignettes to tell the history of his country, along with parable and mythology.

Reggie This sounds pretty good. Have you ever read Ana Castillo? She‘s this Chicana author who is in my top five authors. Her books are magic to me. 6y
Mixedreader @Reggie Yes, she‘s one of my faves! So Far From God was incredible. 6y
