Eduardo Galeano
Eduardo Hughes Galeano (; 3 September 1940 – 13 April 2015) was a Uruguayan journalist, writer and novelist considered, among other things, "a literary giant of the Latin American left" and "global soccer's pre-eminent man of letters".Galeano's best-known works are ''Las venas abiertas de América Latina'' (''Open Veins of Latin America'', 1971) and ''Memoria del fuego'' ('''', 19826). "I'm a writer," the author once said of himself, "obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia."
Author Isabel Allende, who said her copy of Galeano's book was one of the few items with which she fled Chile in 1973 after the military coup of Augusto Pinochet, called ''Open Veins of Latin America'' "a mixture of meticulous detail, political conviction, poetic flair, and good storytelling."
