This is a book of stories, no doubt, but the vast majority are a minute or shorter! Less than a handful are 3 or fewer minutes. It could be hard to grasp some of it since they are so short and I listened to it rather than read it. But some “stories” were so profound, I’m going to have to find the IRL book. The author was from Uruguay but he shared morsels from all over the world: quotes, news, history, thoughts. But I did love his references to his love of soccer (football) and the team from Uruguay that won the World Cup in 1950. The storyteller went from thoughtful and sedate to leaping out of the speakers with delight talking about soccer. While a few things I didn’t like, including his reverence for some politics, I found this book so rewarding. A completely unexpected and delightful choice to read. En este su libro póstumo, Galeano reúne relatos de proveniencias diversas para mostrar con crudeza y humor el pasado y el presente del mundo en que vivimos. Sucesos vinculados con la “conquista” de Amé - rica, la situación de los que menos tienen, la violencia de la sociedad de consumo son algunos de los temas que aborda en prosa poética, tal como escribe en todas sus obras. Ofrece también bellas historias auto - biográficas, sus últimos poemas y reflexiones sobre la muerte. Las ilustraciones de interiores son collages de Eduardo Galeano, inspi - rados en autores y autoras anónimos del arte popular y en obras de April Deniz, Ulisse Aldrovandi, William Blake, Albrecht Dürer, Theodor de Bry, Edward Topsell, Enea Vico, Pieter Brueghel el Joven, Hieronymus Bosch, J. J. Grandville, Collin de Plancy y Jan van Eyck. Der Peter-Hamer-Verlag gibt die Werke des 2015 verstorbenen, lateinamerikanischen, linken Journalisten Eduardo Galeano heraus. (zuletzt "Frauen" ID-G 22/17) Im Nachlass des politischen Publizisten fanden sich "Kritzeleien", Notizen, Blitzlichter aus der Gedankenwelt Galeanos. Sie lassen sich inhaltlich kaum zusammenfassen. Mal beschreiben die kurzen Texte den Untergang der Mayakultur durch die spanischen Eroberer Südamerikas, mal wird der Zauber der Natur poetisch und in leisen Tönen in Worte gefasst. Unterlegt mit Collagen und feinen Zeichnungen des Autors, sehr behutsam übersetzt, ist eine bibliophile Ausgabe entstanden. In öffentlichen Bibliotheken, in denen Galeanos Werke kaum präsent sind, wird der Titel jedoch vermutlich wenig Anklang finden. Insofern eher für iberoamerikanische Spezialbestände geeignet. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"This is Eduardo Galeano's last book, a masterful, deeply considered, and poetic autobiography, written in his signature style of short essays, fables, stories, snippets of dialogue, and epigraph-length fragments with illustrations. A mix of old and new autobiographical material, Hunter of Stories includes Galeano's reflections on death, written during the very last months of his life"--
"Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. Comprised of all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in his signature style--vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes--every page displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown."--Publisher's description.

Tentei, e continuo a tentar, assumir a minha incapacidade de ser imparcial e a minha incapacidade de ser objectivo, talvez porque me recuse a transformar-me em objecto, indiferente às paixões humanas.
Tentei, e continuo a tentar, descobrir mulheres e homens animados pela vontade de justiça e pela vontade de beleza, para além das fronteiras do tempo e dos mapas, porque eles são meus compatriotas e meus contemporâneos, tenham nascido onde quer que nasceram, e tenham vivido quando viveram.
Tentei, e tento, ser suficientemente teimoso para continuar a acreditar, apesar de todas as desilusões, que nós, os homenzinhos, estamos bastante mal feitos, mas ainda não somos obra acabada. E continuo a acreditar também que o arco-íris humano tem mais cores e mais fulgores do que o arco-íris celeste, mas que estamos cegos. Ou melhor, que uma longa tradição mutiladora nos cegou.
E em última análise, resumindo, direi que escrevo para tentar que sejamos mais fortes do que o medo do erro ou do castigo, na altura de fazer a escolha no eterno combate entre os indignos e os indignados." ( )
