Read a sample Read a sample

A fearless, poetic, day-by-day account of human history, narrated by one of Latin America's most beloved and influential writers 
"The amazing Galeano has done it again. History becomes poetry, and mythology becomes politic." — The San Francisco Chronicle 

Unfurling like a medieval book of days, each page of Eduardo Galeano’s Children of the Days has an illuminating story that takes inspiration from that date of the calendar year, resurrecting the heroes and heroines who have fallen off the historical map. Readers will encounter the Brazilians who held a “smooch-in” to protest against a dictatorship; the astonishing day Mexico invaded the United States; and the “sacrilegious” women who had the effrontery to marry each other in a church in the Galician city of A Coruna in 1901, and many others.
Beautifully translated by Galeano’s longtime collaborator, Mark Fried, Children of the Days is a majestic humanist treasure that shows us how to live, guiding us through our darkest hours and sweetest victories.
