Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Later printings. Inscribed by the author on the front flyleaf of all three volumes ("from Eduardo to _______ | Palo Alto / 95"). 293, 276, and 315 pp. Octavos [23 cm]; perfect bound, full color illustrated covers. All three volumes are in very good condition, with just a bit of rubbing, sun fading, and light soiling to the covers. Internally clean, bright, and unmarked. All three volumes of Galeano's magnum opus in American/English paperbacks, each one inscribed and signed by the author. Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire Trilogy defies categorizationor perhaps creates its own. It is a passionate, razor-sharp, lyrical history of North and South America, from the birth of the continent's indigenous peoples through the end of the twentieth century. The three volumes form a haunting and dizzying whole that resurrects the lives of Indians, conquistadors, slaves, revolutionaries, poets, and more. The first book, Genesis, pays homage to the many origin stories of the tribes of the Americas, and paints a verdant portrait of life in the New World through the age of the conquistadors. The second book, Faces and Masks, spans the two centuries between the years 1700 and 1900, in which colonial powers plundered their newfound territories, ultimately giving way to a rising tide of dictators. And in the final installment, Century of the Wind, Galeano brings his story into the twentieth century, in which a fractured continent enters the modern age as popular revolts blaze from North to South.

First edition. [6], 71pp, [1]. Attractively bound by Worsfold in contemporary navy crushed morocco, tooled and lettered in gilt, red calf floral onlays to spine, T.E.G., original publisher's printed yellow paper wrappers bound in. Marbled endpapers, gilt dentelles, wrappers dust-soiled, else clean and crisp. Presentation copy, inked inscription to head of title: 'Mrs. Stirling, with T. Taylor's and C. Reade's kind regards'. A handsome copy of the first edition in book form of Charles Reade's (1814- 1884) and Tom Taylor's (1817-1870) two-act sentimental comedy. Initially performed in 1852, the play proved a resounding commercial success, running for 103 nights at the Haymarket and Adelphi theatres. In less than a month after Masks and Faces opened, Reade published a novel, Peg Woffington, to serve as a companion piece and capitalise on the production's popularity. The book dealt with the same subject, that is the tumultuous life of Irish actress Peg Woffington (1720-1760), and appropriated much of Taylor's dialogue without his permission. William Thomas Jennings Worsfold (1856-1929), London based bookbinder active from approximately 1889 until 1923. Size: 8vo.
