Last words from a continental explorer
MICHAL BONCZA recommends the final collection of works by the great Eduardo Galeano
Revelatory: Eduardo Galeano [Jose Francisco Piton/Wikicommons]

Hunter of Stories
by Eduardo Galeano
(Constable £14.99)

IN LATIN America, time is measured before and after Eduardo Galeano’s book Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.

A literary Pandora’s Box if ever there was one, it's a book that transformed the continent’s self-awareness by tearing down the veil of falsity drawn over its true history by bourgeois apologists.
