Eduardo Galeano is our worlds most lovable revolutionary Naomi Klein
Story-hunter and gatherer Galeano has captured a covey of extraordinary tales from
the wise everybodies of the world they are medicine for our times tales to break our hearts open and restore to us our humanity. To experience them alone is trans-formational. But to watch them soar to their full potential, they must be released from captivity and read aloud. Sandra Cisneros
