<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The second volume of Eduardo Galeano's <i>Memory of Fire</i> trilogy, <i>Faces and Masks</i> 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 BolÃ-r, Toussaint L'Ouverture, and Billy the Kid. With its brilliant and imaginative blend of journalism, scholarship, and political passion, <i>Faces and Masks</i> is a panoramic interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eduardo Galeano</b> (1940-2015) was one of Latin America's most distinguished writers. A Uruguayan journalist, writer, and novelist, he was considered, among other things, a literary giant of the Latin American left and global soccer's preeminent man of letters. He is the author of the three-volume Memory of Fire, <i>Open Veins of Latin America, Soccer in Sun and Shadow, The Book of Embraces, Walking Words, Upside Down</i>, and <i>Voices in Time</i>. Born in Montevideo in 1940, he lived in exile in Argentina and Spain for years before returning to Uruguay. <p/> His work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. He is the recipient of many international prizes, including the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, the Casa de las Americas Prize, and the First Distinguished Citizen of the region by the countries of Mercosur. Galeano once described himself as a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia. Isabel Allende, who said her copy of Galeano's book was one of the few items with which she fled Chile in 1973 after the military coup of Augusto Pinochet, called <i>Open Veins of Latin America</i> a mixture of meticulous detail, political conviction, poetic flair, and good storytelling.
