In his book “Mirrors,” Eduardo Galeano retells the history of human civilization in his own way, condensing what he finds exciting, funny, and worthy of attention through brief, precise passages that give the reader the opportunity to connect with the events and facts he reads, as if history were resurrected before him. The author adopts a cornological path in narrating a history based on bitter paradoxes, and stops at cities, personalities, events, and inventions that constituted milestones in human history. This is how we see him moving lightly between various topics; Such as female circumcision, silkworms, beer, Santa Claus, tango, the torture instruments of the Inquisition. But through the illusion of dispersion, he somehow makes history more logical and full of bitter irony. With extreme selectivity and absolute freedom, Galeano, with his extensive knowledge, chooses the points that stand out to him that seemed to him pivotal in the path of humanity, specifically the forgotten events or people that the dominant narrative of history ignored and wanted to erase from collective memory, as if he was saying to the world: “See your true face reflected in... Mirror".
Time dragged on the Cold War until it seemed as if it would last forever, and then when the people of the earth became convinced that they were capable of it, weapons appeared to announce the birth of a new era. Dark nights multiplied, and injustice gave birth to black offspring with a long robe that extended to cover the edges of the world. As the daughters of time dissolved into each other, the breezes of light began to illuminate the margins that had been neglected by the hand of murder, so that life began to return, little by little. However, it seems that the third war was not enough for a handful of survivors to learn the lesson well. The pandemonium was restored, and the land, which had become empty except for dozens, was no longer sufficient to satisfy the ambitions of the men. The diagrams started on a white page and quickly turned black. This is a story told in the past tense that humanity will soon receive. A few survivors of the nuclear war are granted a long life, and their lives are extended to populate the Earth, but humans are humans, as the struggle over chairs soon returned exactly as it was before the countries met in a war that almost made humans news. Nour and her husband Rashid come out of hiding to find that their once prosperous city has become desolate and there is no trace of anything but death on the sidewalks. The husband searches for survivors, only to have hope shattered on a wall of corpses lying on the sides of the road in disarray. The pair's patrols continue until they realize that a new world, unknown to humanity, is taking shape. After a few days, they realized that they had no choice but to flee a life closer to the world of the jungle, so they began the journey to seek the scent of humanity outside the city limits.
