Hi Everybody
In this publication I have to speak about one of the persons that I admire, this person is Eduardo Germán Hughes Galeano but all the people know him just like Eduardo Galeano because the pronunciation of their second name is very difficult. He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in the year 1940 and he still lives.
He is a recognized journalist that start to drawing in a magazine just when he had fourteen years old. In the beginning he was redactor of the magazine "Marcha" 1960-1964 where recognized Uruguayan writers publicated they works but this magazine was closed for the dictatorship that lived Uruguay and also for the same reason he was exiled to Argentina in the year 1973.
In Argentina found one literary magazine called "Crisis".
In the year 1975 he goes to lived to Spain and continued their publications in magazines.
The first time that I read to Galeano was in the school in a class called "Latinoamerican identity" and of that moment I adore Galeano.
In my opinion he wrote one of the most important books called "The open veins of Latin american" where he relates all the injustices, violations and the inequality that lived the latinoamerican natives and the people of this continent in general since the Spanish conquest.
He has a critical and political way to see the moral and material misery that our world lives where every day increases the difference between rich and poor people.
I think that Galeano is one of the most clever writers of latin america and I feel proud on being latinoamerican too.
Finaly i would like end with a phrase of him:
“The utopy was in the horizon, I walk two steps, she moves two steps and the horizon runs ten steps further, so for what serves the utopy?, for that, serves for walk”
