In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends

This book is the history of the world, from the beginning of time to present (almost), in tiny vignettes that reflect a view that is not the European recording of history...it is history as experienced by the non-winning sides. A fascinating and eye-opening experience.
