<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The factual skeleton of the author's life is given flesh and blood in his strangely beautiful book, in which poetry, fiction, autobiography, history, fantasy and political commentary mingle and reinforce each other in unexpected ways".--The New York Times Book Review. Drawings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Eduardo Galeano's is considered a passionate literary voice. In The Book of Embraces, he employs parable and paradox, anecdote and dream, and fragments of autobiography to construct a passionate, ironic and joyful world view. The world reveals itself in a multiplicity of voices; what emerges is a brief for love, friendship, courage, perseverance and imagination. Galeano also wrote Memory of Fire.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Galeano] is a dangerous radical storyteller, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, like Isabel Allende, and like Pablo Neruda before them. . . . <em>The Book of Embraces</em> is a mosaic, or Deigo Rivera mural in words.--John Leonard "New York Newsday"<br><br>In <em>The Book of Embraces</em>, Galeano goes out on the tightrope and then levitates in the air above it. . . . [His] subject is nothing less that the variety of human life and love.--Alan Ryan "Washington Post Book World"<br>
