The Book of Embraces Summary

The Book of Embraces by Eduardo Galeano

Eduardo Galeano's is considered a passionate literary voice. In The Book of Embraces, he employs parable and paradox, anecdote and dream, and fragments of autobiography to construct a passionate, ironic and joyful world view. The world reveals itself in a multiplicity of voices; what emerges is a brief for love, friendship, courage, perseverance and imagination. Galeano also wrote Memory of Fire.

The Book of Embraces Reviews

[Galeano] is a dangerous radical storyteller, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, like Isabel Allende, and like Pablo Neruda before them. . . . The Book of Embraces is a mosaic, or Deigo Rivera mural in words. -- John Leonard - New York Newsday
In The Book of Embraces, Galeano goes out on the tightrope and then levitates in the air above it. . . . [His] subject is nothing less that the variety of human life and love. -- Alan Ryan - Washington Post Book World
