One of the most influential and important Latin American literary writers, Eduardo Galeano, was a Uruguayan writer who raised his voice on human rights and social justice. He was a strong critic of international nationalism and highlighted the hypocritical features of man in the modern world. One of South Africa's most famous writers, he was an ambassador of Latin American history and gave the world an understanding of their culture, values and struggles, by writing willingly and honestly. Some of his notable works include, 'Las Venas Abiertas de America' (translated into more than 20 languages), 'Days Nights of Love and War', 'Football in the Sun and Shadow', 'Memory of Fire' trilogy, 'Am Rich Potosí: The Mountain of Men 'and' Children of the Days: The History of Man's History '. His books are a variant of Latin American history and his fictional narratives also contain elements of Latin American culture and antiquity. The divorced author also wrote journalism books and political analysis.
