Instead, these tales, riddles, aphorisms and paradoxes become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world. Woodcut illustrations.

Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 7x1x8; Drawn from the mythic folklore of rural and urban Latin America, a collection of tales, fables, and puzzles. "Walking Words" is a brilliant feat of storytelling in the tradition of Italo Calvino's "Italian Folktale." In it, Eduardo Galeano, author of the acclaimed "Memory of Fire" trilogy, draws on the folklore of the rural and urban Latin America to discover and retell "the stories of ghouls and fools that I'd like to write." These tales are beautifully illustrated by his collaborator, the Brazilian wood cut artist Jose Francisco Borges, and become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world.
