Memoria del fuego 1: Los nacimientos (Genesis: Memory of Fire Trilogy #1) (Spanish Edition)
 
No se trata de una antología, sino de una obra de creación literaria en la que el autor revela las múltiples dimensiones de la historia de América y penetra sus secretos; nos muestra lo que fuimos y lo que podríamos haber sido; lo que somos, para que nos entendamos y entendamos lo que podríamos ser.
 
Eduardo Galeano’s monumental three-volume retelling of the history of the New World begins with Genesis, a vast chain of legends sweeping from the birth of creation to the era of savage colonialism. Through lyrical prose and deep understanding, Galeano (author of the celebrated Open Veins of Latin America) recounts creation myths, pre-Columbian societies, and the brutality of conquest, from the Andes to the Great Plains.

Galeano’s project to restore to history “breath, liberty, and the word” unfolds as a unique, powerful work of literature. This daring masterpiece sets the past free, weaving a new kind of history from mythology, silenced voices, and the clash of worlds. Genesis is the first book of the Memory of Fire trilogy, which continues with Faces and Masks and Century of the Wind.
