"One hundred and thirty years ago, Alice, after visiting Wonderland, entered a mirror to discover the world in reverse. If Alice were reborn in our days, she wouldn't need to go behind the mirror; it would be enough to take a look out the window."

With his gripping book "Upside Down," in the revised translation by Georgia Zakopoulou, the multi-award-winning Uruguayan author and journalist Eduardo Galeano decides to send us back to school. To a school that reveals with chilling details and biting humor the inverted reality of the modern world, where left is right, up is down, and forward is backward.
