Description for Mirrors Paperback. Presents the history of the world that condenses into its fragments radically altered visions of the significant events on the earth, and of the individuals who pass history from hand to hand in the official guidebooks. Translator(s): Fried, Mark. Num Pages: 304 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: HBG; HBL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 196 x 129 x 30. Weight in Grams: 370.
In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends
