In the signal style of his bestselling and much-admired 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with blue algae, the earliest of life forms, these 333 vignettes alight on the Galeano family's immigration to Uruguay in the early twentieth century, the fate of love letters intercepted by a military dictatorship, abuses by the rich and powerful, the latest military outrages, and the author's own encounters with all manner of living matter, including generals, bums, dissidents, soccer stars, ducks, and trees. Out of these meditations emerges neither anger nor bitterness, but a celebration of a blessed life in a harsh world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePoetic and passionate, scathing and lyrical, delivered with Galeano's inimitable mix of gentle comedy and fierce moral judgment, \u003ci\u003eVoices of Time\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal statement from a great and beloved writer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEduardo Galeano\u003c\/b\u003e (1940-2015) is the author of \u003ci\u003eUpside Down\u003c\/i\u003e, the Memory of Fire trilogy (for which he won the 1989 American Book Award), \u003ci\u003eOpen Veins of Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other works.
