Helena's Dreams

Eduardo Galeano



Isidro Ferrer (Illustrations)

«Sleeping, she saw us. Helena dreamt that we were queuing in an airport the same as all airports and we were made to pass, through a machine, our pillows. In each pillow, the pillow from last night, the machine read the dreams. It was a dangerous dream detecting machine for the safety of the general public.»




Throughout his life, Eduardo Galeano has been transcribing his wife's dreams. This book brings Helena's dreams together for the first time in the form of a story. Friends, strangers, journeys, exiles and reunions are intertwined through an itinerary of adventures.


Isidro Ferrer has been able to interpret, through exquisite sculptures, all the beauty of these stories dreamt for dreamers of any age.

«"You're yellow! You're yellow!" "Open up, you cur! Open up!" Kill'm, Danny! Kill'm!" "You sure got 'm! Kill'm!»





Written between 1905 and 1911, the stories collected in Knock Out include A Piece of Steak, The Mexican, and The Game. Three boxing stories, three fascinating tales whose intensity grows page after page until perfection. Jack London and three memorable fights, with the epic character typical of his literature.


Enrique Breccia, one of the great contemporary illustrators, has drawn twenty black and white prints that confer a powerful realism to each of these adventures, packed with excitement and courage. Pages where the images and the stories attract our attention, eventually transforming it into pure excitement.
