Throughout his career, Eduardo Galeano has turned our understanding
of history and reality on its head. Isabelle Allende said his works
"invade the reader's mind, to persuade him or her to surrender to
the charm of his writing and power of his idealism."
"Mirrors," Galeano's most ambitious project since "Memory of
Fire," is an unofficial history of the world seen through history's
unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano notes: "Official history
has it that Vasco Nunez de Balboa was the first man to see, from a
summit in Panama, the two oceans at once. Were the people who lived
there blind "
Recalling the lives of artists, writers, gods, and visionaries,
from the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century New York, of the
black slaves who built the White House and the women erased by
men's fears, and told in hundreds of kaleidoscopic vignettes,
"Mirrors" is a magic mosaic of our humanity.
