The second book, Faces and Masks, spans the two centuries between the years 17, in which colonial powers plundered their newfound territories, ultimately giving way to a rising tide of dictators. The first book, Genesis, pays homage to the many origin stories of the tribes of the Americas, and paints a verdant portrait of life in the New World through the age of the conquistadors. The three volumes form a haunting and dizzying whole that resurrects the lives of Indians, conquistadors, slaves, revolutionaries, poets, and more. It is a passionate, razor-sharp, lyrical history of North and South America, from the birth of the continent’s indigenous peoples through the end of the twentieth century. All three books in the American Book Award–winning Memory of Fire Trilogy available in a single volume for the first time.Įduardo Galeano’s Memory of Fire Trilogy defies categorization-or perhaps creates its own.
