DESCRIPTION:World Renowned and Award-winning South American Author Eduardo Galeano  
 Combining a novelist's intensity, a poet's lyricism, a journalist's 
 fearlessness, and the strong judgments of an engaged historian, his talents 
 are richly displayed in VOICES OF TIME: A Life in Stories, a striking 
 mosaic of memories, observations, and legends that reveal both the 
 author’s own story and a grand, compassionate vision of life itself.  One 
 of Latin America's most distinguished writers, journalists, and historians, 
 Eduardo Galeano has earned an international reputation as a fearless 
 commentator on our social and political lives. In VOICES OF TIME he offers 
 a kaleidoscope of reflections on his own life. The 333 vignettes talk about 
 an array of topics, ranging from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, 
 indignity, and indignation. In the signal style of his bestselling Memory 
 of Fire trilogy—brief fragments that build steadily into an organic 
 whole—Galeano offers a rich, wry history of his life and times that is 
 both calmly philosophical and fiercely political.   It’s not just that 
 Eduardo Galeano is a writer of significance; or that he escaped 
 imprisonment in Uruguay, fleeing to Argentina where he launched an 
 underground publication which forced his exile to Spain; or that he has 
 been translated into 20 languages; or that he received the first Lannan 
 Prize for Cultural Freedom in 1998.  It’s that he writes until only the 
 essential words remain and what he has to say is of extraordinary value to 
 us.   VOICES OF TIME is a deeply personal statement from a much-loved 
 writer.  Its unique rendering—the use of lyrical and poetic language 
 blended with a mix of gentle comedy and fierce moral judgment—is what 
 makes Galeano penetrate our minds as powerfully as he does.   “Galeano 
 uses his craft to invade the reader’s mind, to persuade him or her to 
 surrender to the charm of his writing and the power of his idealism.”
