We have discussed Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015) in previous entries. He was a writer born in Montevideo but exiled in Argentina and then in Spain. In 1985 he went back to his country where he lived until his death on April 13 2015. He was a prolific writer, crossing the boundaries of literary genres and trying to reflect the voice of the soul and the street, offering a synopsis of reality, memory and his own experience of things.
El cazador de historias (2016) was published after his death, including the stories he had selected and some others from another book he was going to publish entitled Garabatos. This group of stories is included in a fourth section of the book entitled "Quise, quiero, quisiera" and they deal mainly with the topic of death.
The book is a box of treasures, some of which we will unveil for you in this blog. Here goes one, from the first section of the book, "Molinos de tiempo".
La piel del libro
Él nos dio y nos da mucho placer, pero recibió poco o ninguno.
Tsai Lun, eunuco, miembro de la corte imperial china, inventó el papel. Fue en el año 105, tras mucho trabajar con la corteza del árbol de la mora y otros vegetales.
Gracias a Tsai Lun, ahora podemos leer y escribir acariciando la piel del libro, mientras sentimos que son nuestras las palabras que nos dice.
