Description
En 1976, a los 36 años, Galeano comienza un largo exilio que lo lleva primero a Buenos Aires y más tarde a Cataluña. Golpeado por la desaparición, el asesinato o el exilio de sus compañeros, allí escribe Días y noches de amor y de guerra como un acto reparatorio, una crónica sobrecogedora del tiempo transcurrido entre mayo de 1975 y julio de 1977, donde plasma una rigurosa fotografía del horror político de esos días.

Eduardo Galeano's monumental three-volume retelling of the history of the New World begins with Genesis, a vast chain of legends sweeping from the birth of creation to the era of savage colonialism.
