(Memoria del fuego #3)
Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written, the third volume of Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy, Century of the Wind serves up the turbulent 20th century's worth of U.S.-Latin American relations, from the bucolic New Jersey laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison to the armies of Emiliano Zapata and Fidel Castro to the Reagan-era CIA 'neutralizations' in the forests of...more

The last volume of the trilogy Memory of Fire.
My expectation was less. I thought that after thoroughly enjoying the first (Genesis) and second (Faces & Masks) the novelty would have worn off and I'd have not much reason to gush over it. I was wrong. The metaphors here are as startling as ever, the characters as unforgettable, the relived history as heartbreaking and the prose as ecstatic.

This was a fantastic revelation for me:I hadn't previously known very much at all about Latin American history and Galeano's vignettes were a wonderful introduction. The emotive, personal perspective that he is able to share with readers is captivating and educational. I certainly shy away from any description of this novel as a fiction, because the events discussed are completely factual. The way Galeano expresses the brutality of Latin American history should make readers uncomfortable, but al...more

Having read the historic and mythic Faces and Masks I knew (mostly) what I was getting into with Galeano's Century of the Wind. The previous book was an enraged artistic history of the Americas from the vantage of the oppressed. In this last volume it is again the story of the oppressed, especially the poor worker of the land, but here the oppressor, as well as the local landowner or 'president,' is also the American corporation and the American government. His short vignettes of violence, revol...more

A must read for all fans of history! It is more than just a book. It is a picture in words.
I strongly recommend reading the entire trilogy, Memory of Fire. This is the third installment of Galeano's ode to Latin America. each chapter is a vignette in the history of the America's.
It contains both the good and bad of an entire continent. After finishing writing it, Galeano wrote that 'more now than ever, I feel proud to have been born in this paradise, in this shithole that is Latin America'

This book made me wonder why we ever read history any other way?
An answer that does come to mind: because this book focuses so much on individual personalities that it risks falling into the great/monstrous man vision of history.
But it is people that I connect to, for better or worse. And Galeano has found some of the truly brave, beautiful, humble and dignified people in history. And also the terrible.

This has to be one of my favorite books ever. That's crazy talk, I know, but it's true. I did things a little backwards though since I haven't read the first two books of this trilogy, but if 'Century of the Wind' is any indication, then I'm ready for some epistolary, fragmentary entries that render the last century into a beautiful collage of horror, humor, and industrialism. Wow.
Jan 22, 2019Taighe Selwood rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
The Memory of Fire Trilogy provides a unique way to learn the history of the Americas. Galeano utilizes gorgeous prose, constrained in short vignettes, to tell his perspective on the tumultuous story that is the colonization of the New World. This unique style allows for the evocation of more emotion and imagination than any straight-forward history text could convey. Though, as Galeano points out himself, this causes the trilogy to become his story of the history.

the finale of a masterpiece of scholarship... Galeano returns to his scathing critique and full-blown evisceration of the narrative of the Americas we all think we know... covering everyone from Edison to Reagan to Zapata to Castro, he covers the depth breadth of the land, detailing, with his unique brand of academia mixed with speechifying rhetorical barbs, the truths of 'actions' by the US in countries deemed dangerously socialist or revolutionary or just not acquiescent to its hegemony... int...more

Century of The Wind, the third book in the Memory of Fire Trilogy written by Eduardo Galeano (1986), translated by Cedric Belfrage (1988), is about the history of Latin America in the Twentieth Century. The book is a tangible cry of how the people were brutally silenced and taken for granted. It is the living testimony of the countless unjust deaths. It is the use, misuse, and abuse of power captured in words. Vignette from vignette, it will touch your heart the way no other book can, forming a...more

'Century of the Wind' apparently forms part of a trilogy: 'Memory of Fire'. I had not idea what I held in my hands when an old friend gave it to me last time I was in London, 'Because Latin America is where you live.' Indeed, I live in Peru, and this amazing book helps me understand so much better what happened here and why things are what they are. 'Century of the Wind' can't be described. It's not an easily pigeonholed book. It's a collection (in order of time and carefully researched) of pros...more

I read the triology in no time, I just couldn't stop. It is not only beatifuly written, it is a piece of the untold history of a remarkable continent because its struggle for life, freedom, civil liberties and justice for their multiple ethnic population.Escapes from being panfletary because the poetry, the recuperation of legends and unknown people and written memorials. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to know Latin America.
Apr 13, 2015Michael rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
An hour or so from the close of the Memory of Fire trilogy, as I prepared for sleep, I learned of Galeano's passing. With a pain in my chest, I switched on the light and read until the final page. As I found myself at the end of this journey, my device reset itself and has been unresponsive since. On the home screen, beside the title of the series, where Eduardo Galeano's name ought be, there is a blank space.

Beautifully written vignettes recreating moments in history. They may move you, give you goosebumps, haunt you. The prose is so alive and so brutally seductive --it would be easy to read it all in one sitting. I personally recommend reading one paragraph-sized entry a day --or one a week. So richly written, I needed time to digest each one. Galeano is brilliant, brilliant.

What a beautiful and glorious finalé to the trilogy. Starting at 1900 and going into the 1984, this is a chronicle of the Americas south of the United States. And it is mostly a game of musical chairs between American appointed dictators, popular but socialist leaders, and then back to American appointed dictators. Of revolutions that either change and then perish, or perish without changing.

With this review, sadly it signifies for me the end of Galeano's 'Memory of Fire' series. A scorchingly hot, scintallatingly deep, machete sharp, disturbingly accurate history and commentary of 'the America's'. Without a doubt the most poetic, heartfelt and engaging history books I've ever had the joy to read. These are couragous books of genius!! 5 STARS
Apr 08, 2019Bethany rated it really liked it · review of another edition
This was a fascinating, heart-wrenching, poetic depiction of the history of Latin America. It was truly a joy to read. I've rated it five stars because I did get bogged down towards the middle and found it hard to finish. But all the same I can not wait to read more by Galeano!

Here is comment as opposed to a review. So I've read the last 100 pages since Trump's inauguration. It's remarkable how many things his administration as has done and said in just a few days that mirror the actions and words of the dictators described in this series of books.

The greatest trilogy I will ever read. If I could recommend one book (series) it's this one. I don't even know how to categorize it. Galeano invented a form. It's the history of Latin America as told by a poet.

So Depressing. The never ending story of the rich and powerful taking from the poor and helpless, often while calling it fairness, freedom or justice. I am glad I took the time to read the trilogy.

There's a great recording of the comedian Bill Hicks performing around election time back in 1992 during which he referred to the murderous Reagan/Bush foreign policy in Latin America and then asked 'How does it feel to find out we're the Evil Empire?' Even if you're already pretty familiar with the U.S. policy of supporting and arming brutal rightwing dictators throughout the 20th century all around the world (but especially in the countries of the Western hemisphere), it's still astounding to...more

The other volumes, though heartbreaking, didn't leave me as despairing as this one. In part because I could tell myself that it was all so long ago, that while the arc of the moral universe is long it does bend, it has been bending, towards justice*. But this volume comes up through the 20th century, up into my lifetime, and I can't deny that this is the world we live in. So the death squads and the IMF-demanded austerity measures and the continual assault on human rights by wealthy corporations...more

This history of Latin America's struggles during the Twentieth Century is passionate, polemical and poetic. Galeano is a committed Marxist but he is also intelligent, subtle when he should be and fair when facts demand it.
The book consists of brief paragraphs labeled by year and location that form a rich mosaic of events, heroes and villains. Galeano cites nearly 500 sources for a picture of Latin America that the typical North American reader is unlikely to get anywhere else.

In the concluding volume of this trilogy Galeano focuses on America’s evolution towards the contemporary age. Now instead of racial wars, the twentieth century brought about dictators such as Castro, Trujillo and others. Also many new inventions have been cropping up, not to mention the two world wars. The whole series ends with a letter the author writes about finishing of the trilogy.

All of Latin American history is told in vignettes in Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy. This is an amazing, and inspiring, piece of work. I read it once before I knew anything about Latin America, and then again about 15 years later when I knew a lot, and it was even better the second time. An incredible book. When I learned Colombian history I went back and read about the assassination of Gaitan. Galeano is a true artist of history. He sees things differently, and writes about them differently,...more
