Second book in a landmark 3-volume experiment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
While it lacks the originality of the first volume and the emotional intensity of the third, this second volume in Galeano's "Memory of Fire" trilogy is still extraordinary, essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the Western Hemisphere. (That should be everyone, right?)
The Epic of the Americas Continues and Absorbs....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This second volume leaves off where Galeano's "Genesis" left off...it continues in the same style with history breathing just as fresh as today's headlines...the struggle and minglings of many worlds come together clashing for better or for worse in the Americas, producing something entirely new...countries are born, with bloodshed and lust... I recommend this book on Latino history because it tells history passionately driven by the authors own views which he does not even pretend to hide...the writing itself is beautiful...the prose becomes poetic...and he weaves from many sources...I will definitely read this work again!
