A re-creation of the conquest of the Americas and Latin America, divided into three parts. In the first are the myths of pre-Columbian America; in the second the history of America unfolds from the 15th to 19th century, and in the third 1900 to 1986. This trilogy differs from most in that it presents the making of the New World from the viewpoint of Latin America.

Eduardo Galeano fue un periodista, escritor y novelista uruguayo. Sus obras más conocidas son *Memoria del fuego* (1986) y *Las venas abiertas de América Latina* (1971), traducidas a veinte idiomas y que trascienden los géneros ortodoxos: combinan ficción, periodismo, análisis político e historia. El propio autor proclamó su obsesión como escritor diciendo: "Soy un escritor obsesionado con recordar, con recordar el pasado de América sobre todo y sobre todo el de América Latina, tierra íntima condenada a la amnesia". Galeano recibió el Premio Internacional de Derechos Humanos de Global Exchange (2006) y el Premio Stig Dagerman (2010).
