Faces and Masks
Faces and Masks | Eduardo Galeano
6 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
The second volume of Eduardo Galeano's "Memory of Fire" trilogy, "Faces and Masks" is an astonishing Latin American-eye view of the New World in the making. Here is the tangled, cataclysmic history of our hemisphere from the 1700s up to the dawn of our present century, told through characters as resonant and compelling as Simon Bolivar, Toussaint L'Ouverture, and Billy the Kid. With its brilliant and imaginative blend of journalism, scholarship, and political passion, "Faces and Masks" is a panoramic interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.

#WickedWhispers Day 31: #Mask - I should begin Memory of Fire by Uruguayan literary author Eduardo Galeano. I fell in love with his The Book of Embraces and bought all his other books I can find. I should get to them soonest. 🙏🏼

BarbaraBB You‘re weekly forecast will be the same for some time to come I guess, although you must finish Judith before next weekend 😀 5y
Liz_M @BarbaraBB ~sigh~ Yes. I may have to get creative with positions or backgrounds. 🤔 5y
BarbaraBB Haha! That‘s a good challenge, being creative with backgrounds 🤣! But of course there will be another NYRB soon. And the European reads next year. You‘ll be fine 😀 5y
