Therefore, it is said that not even a spring of grass will move without his permission. He is the one who has given life to all the creatures.

    From the winner of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, a bitingly funny, kaleidoscopic vision of the First World through the eyes of the Third.Eduardo Galeano, author of the incomparable Memory of Fire Trilogy, combines a novelist's intensity, a poet's lyricism, a journalist's fearlessness, and the strong judgments of an engaged historian. Now his talents are richly displayed in Upside Down, an eloquent, passionate, sometimes hilarious exposé of our first-world privileges and assumptions.In a series of lesson plans and a “program of study” about our beleaguered planet, Galeano takes the reader on a wild trip through the global looking glass. From a master class in “The Impunity of Power” to a seminar on “The Sacred Car” —with tips along the way on “How to Resist Useless Vices” and a declaration of “The Right to Rave” —he surveys a world unevenly divided between abundance and deprivation, carnival and torture, power and helplessness. We have accepted a reality we should reject, Galeano teaches us, one where machines are more precious than humans, people are hungry, poverty kills, and children toil from dark to dark.A work of fire and charm, Upside Down makes us see the world anew and even glimpse how it might be set right.“Galeano's outrage is tempered by intelligence, an ineradicable sense of humor, and hope.” —Los Angeles Times

The Native American inhabited the woods, streams, and sky with heaps of superphysical and undetectable creatures. There are legends of whole clans of Indians who lived in lake bottoms; of races who were never found in the daytime yet who, approaching from their secret caverns, wandered the earth around evening time and waylaid unwary explorers; likewise of Bat Indians, with human bodies and batlike wings, who lived in bleak woodlands and distant bluffs and who dozed hanging head descending from extraordinary branches and offshoots of rock. The red man's way of thinking of basic animals is evidently the result of his private contact with Nature, whose mysterious miracles become the producing reason for such powerful hypotheses.
