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.
