In his book “Mirrors,” Eduardo Galeano retells the history of human civilization in his own way, condensing what he finds exciting, funny, and worthy of attention through brief, precise passages that give the reader the opportunity to connect with the events and facts he reads, as if history were resurrected before him. The author adopts a cornological path in narrating a history based on bitter paradoxes, and stops at cities, personalities, events, and inventions that constituted milestones in human history. This is how we see him moving lightly between various topics; Such as female circumcision, silkworms, beer, Santa Claus, tango, the torture instruments of the Inquisition. But through the illusion of dispersion, he somehow makes history more logical and full of bitter irony. With extreme selectivity and absolute freedom, Galeano, with his extensive knowledge, chooses the points that stand out to him that seemed to him pivotal in the path of humanity, specifically the forgotten events or people that the dominant narrative of history ignored and wanted to erase from collective memory, as if he was saying to the world: “See your true face reflected in... Mirror".

In this book you will find the reader. Find books. But you will not find the author, as he is also an anxious reader who fluctuates between good intentions and bad intentions towards books.
It is also about an avid reader with a magnifying glass in her hand, who follows her isolated writers like her own soul and tries to penetrate the folds of their sad stories and heroes. The lost and the lost. You flounder with them and with them in order to remain a fugitive forever from a globe whose terrain is distorted!
