MIRRORS: STORIES OF ALMOST EVERYONE(SPANISH’S TITLE: ESPEJOS: UNA HISTORIA CASI UNIVERSAL)

Book ID/图书代码： 12560508B28736

English Summary/英文概要： Eduardo Galeano is one of our greatest storytellers. Throughout his career he has transcended genre and turned our understanding of history and reality on its head. Mirrors is his latest book of wonders, his most ambitious project since Memory of Fire—that landmark recreation of 500 years in the Americas. Mirrors is a sometimes bawdy, sometimes irreverent, sometimes heart-breaking unofficial history of the world seen—and mirrored to us—through the eyes and voices of history’s unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano asks, "Official history has it that Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first man to see, from a summit in Panama, the two oceans at once. Were the people who lived there blind?"

Taking in 5,000 years of history, recalling the lives of artists and writers, gods and visionaries from the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century New York and Mumbai, and told in hundreds of kaleidoscopic vignettes that resurrect the lives of the "thinkers and the feelers, the curious, condemned for asking, rebels and losers and lovely lunatics who were and are the salt of the earth," Mirrors is a magic mosaic of our humanity.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者给您讲述了精彩绝伦的历史故事，突破传统文体的束缚，颠覆了人类对历史和现实的理解。《历史明镜》是其最新力作，深度可与记录美洲历史500年的巨作《烈火记忆》相媲美。文字时而通俗，时而挑衅，讲述了令人悲痛的非官方史实，透析了鲜为人知又被人遗忘的历史。正如作者所说，“正史称法兰西斯克·皮泽洛是历史上第一个在巴拿马顶峰望见两大洋的人。难不成那儿的人都是瞎子？”
书中涵盖了5000年的悠远历史，重现了伊甸园时代直至二十一世纪的纽约和孟买的文人墨客，神灵及空想家，并以万花筒式的描写还原了思想家，体验家，求知者，受迫害者，叛逆者等一系列正派人物的生活。可谓是一部讲述全人类的斑斓魔幻的奇作。(SJN)

Awards/获奖情况："There is a mysterious power in Galeano’s storytelling. He uses his craft to invade the privacy of the reader’s mind, to persuade him or her to read and to continue reading to the very end, to surrender to the charm of his writing and the power of his idealism."---Isabel Allende
