Continues from where it left off 1700 to be precise, and takes you through 200 yrs of American history, the history of N and S America The Europeans have arrived and continue their plunder Minor and major uprisings arise everywhere, some put down, some successful Countries become independent, but borders keep getting reshaped, as greed, trade, meddling keep countries at war.Interesting how once the European powers realised they could no longer hold these lands with their armies, the moved out an [...]
a brutal reportage of the conquest of the Americas by savages white settlers, missionaries, explorers, and glory seekers told in his inimical style, with passion and facts intermingled with polemics about politics and race and social justice, this book continues the trilogy admirably, bringing to the forefront how the treatment of indigenous peoples by civilized man puts the lie to Western Civ narratives Americans are spoonfed by their schools, their media, and their politicians but it shows tha [...]

1785 GuanajuatoSilver PortraitUsing the language of fluttering fans, ladies chat in the leafy gardens Somebody pees against the wall of the church and on one side of the plaza two beggars, sitting in the sun, pick at each other s lice Beneath the stone archway a distinguished doctor in a huge cloak talks of the Rights of Man, and a monk moves down the lane muttering eternal condemnations against the drunks, whores, and rowdies who cross in front of him Not far from the city,collectors hunt India [...]
Moments of extreme beauty throughout this epic retelling of the history of the Americas Galeano writes vignettes gleaned from hundreds of historical accounts the book itself is a gaping, mouthwatering portal to the vast bibliography in its final pages.Galeano treats history as poetry and, while this is non fiction, Memoria del Fuego is written with the grace and astonishing insight of the best poetry Galeano takes a concert of the Guaran Indians, brought to Buenos Aires by the Jesuits to sing, a [...]
Were it not shot through with humor, this would be a book of unbearable grief and fury E.g the short piece called Fiction in the Colonial Era 1785 Mexico City The viceroy of Mexico, Matias de Galvez, signs a new edict in favor of Indian workers The Indians are to receive fair wages, good food, and medical attention and they will have two rest hours at noon, and be able to change employers whenever they like 69 There are also moments of beauty, as in They Carry Life in Their Hair For all the blac [...]
The blue tiger will smash the world.Another land, without evil, without death, will be born from the destruction of this one This land wants it It asks to die, asks to be born, this old and offended land It is weary and blind from so much weeping behind closed eyelids On the point of death it strides the days, garbage heap of time, and at night it inspires pity from the stars Soon the First Father will hear the world s supplications, land wanting to be another, and then the blue tiger who sleeps [...]
i first found this series on my parents shelves when i was younger, i would read parts of them it s either this one or the first one that has my favorite quote they were two by an error that night corrects i have since come to doubt that quote as beautiful as it is maybe they were two for a reason and night fucked up, although it was a beautiful fuckup for awhile but i m young and who knows, and i ll always miss him.
Talking about New World with rhymes, poems, aphorisms In this book, Galeano talks about discourse of power play that restructure all Latin America The biggest impact is the loss of indigenous identity.
Part two of a trilogyLiterary geniusGaleano takes historical bits and bites and reminds us of the past of Latin America and America during years of 1700 to 1900, encouraging review and research of the vast number of historical events he touches on.
Galeano continues his climb towards becoming my favorite writer.
Marvellous a poet writes history
The second part of Galeano s trilogy is even powerful and compelling than the first It s also funny, mordant, insightful, inspiring and full of some of the most dynamic characters you ll ever meet in any work of fiction or nonfiction And I would be remiss to mention how ingeniously Galeano combines fiction and nonfiction The book can be called fiction because Galeano weaves together a tapestry of historical episodes in his own idiosyncratic and particular way, through his own artistic lens But [...]
Galeano writes with a grim poetic fury in this book, providing brief glimpses into the history of the Americas This volume number 2 in a trilogy covers 1700 to 1900, the time of colonialism, revolution, and economic imperialism His history is one of both impression and depth as it describes the lives of the oppressed and the revolutionary, the mythical and the heroic The writing focuses on the Indian and the slave, mestizo and mulatto, seeing whites largely in the roles of economic and political [...]
No me esperaba menos, un muy buen libro y puedo destacar demasiados p rrafos que me llaman la atenci n, uno de ellos Vea la Europa c mo inventa, y vea la Am rica c mo imita Unos toman por prosperidad el ver sus puertos llenos de barcos ajenos, y sus casas convertidas en almacenes de efectos ajenos D nde iremos a buscar modelos Somos independientes, pero no libres due os del suelo, pero no de nosotros mismos.Abramos la historia y por lo que a n no est escrito, lea cadauno en su memoria Desde la i [...]
Like much of his other writing, Galeano writes novels composed of very short stories vignettes within the novel, so that I m not sure it should even be characterized as a novel s not quite short stories, but the form is a little hard to get used to At least in this book, there is some linearity as each vignette progresses forward in time This book covers the period 1700 1900 in Latin America I often find myself confused, but if I stick with it or reread passages I ll figure out the allusions, ri [...]
No me esperaba menos de la continuaci n de la Trilog a, para ser el segundo el libro super al primero y me espera lo mejor, el final Me gustar a recalcar Vea la Europa c mo inventa, y vea la Am rica c mo imita Unos toman por prosperidad el ver sus puertos llenos de barcos ajenos, y sus casas convertidas en almacenes de efectos ajenos Cada d a llega una remesa de ropa hecha, y hasta de gorras para los indios Se dice que nuestra historia condenar ,mi sangre es de indio masacrado y explotado, a par [...]
Onwards to volume two of the Memory of Fire trilogy This time round Galeano tackles the years 1700 1900 Again there s a lot dedicated to the suffering the Indians had to go through However, there are chapters on America turning into a superpower and the plight of black slavery He also mentions how society is moving towards the contemporary era by mentioning products such as Levi s and Coca Cola.As such there s no huge change in the writing style or approach The standard still is consistent and [...]
Un buen comienzo, narra los diferentes mitos de los pueblos pre hisp nicos como La creaci n y explicaci n de la naturaleza y el universo en si La otra parte la llegada de los europeos al continente americano y que llegan a buscar fortuna cambiando para siempre la estructura de dos mundos America y Europa
This book by Eduardo Galeano in peotic langauage and short flash fiction like pieces covers the history of especially South America from around 1800 to 1900 It is a book most definitely worth reading if you want to find out about what happened during this time of colonization and conquests but told in a style that will mesmerize and haunt and linger long after you read the book.
This one started off a little slower than the first book but I thought the second half of the book was excellent A lot of moving stuff in this book Galeano is just an amazing writer He creates these scenes out of nothing and makes you care about the hundreds of characters, most of the nameless, you meet throughout the story Well worth picking up.
