Synopsis "walking words"

"Walking Words" is a brilliant feat of storytelling in the tradition of Italo Calvino's "Italian Folktale." In it, Eduardo Galeano, author of the acclaimed "Memory of Fire" trilogy, draws on the folklore of the rural and urban Latin America to discover and retell "the stories of ghouls and fools that I'd like to write." These tales are beautifully illustrated by his collaborator, the Brazilian wood cut artist Jose Francisco Borges, and become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world.

Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015) was a Uruguayan writer and journalist whose work was characterized by a deep social and political commitment. His style combined essays, chronicles, and narrative to address the history and struggles of Latin America. His most influential work, Open Veins of Latin America (1971), became a benchmark of critical thinking about colonialism and exploitation in the region.

Throughout his career, Galeano published key titles such as Memory of Fire (1982-1986), a trilogy that reinterprets the history of the continent, and The Book of Embraces (1989), a collection of short stories with his characteristic poetic style. His legacy continues as an essential voice in Latin American literature.
