Excellent seller! Item exactly as described; well packed; great price as the seller was having a sale; extremely fast shipping; I purchased multiple ornaments and the seller advised me to pay the full shipping cost and then they would refund any overage. The very next day I received a refund for shipping. Great communication with the seller and a very smooth transaction. I would definitely buy from them again. I'm very happy with my vintage Radko ornaments. Thanks!

This ornament is beautiful and exactly as described by the seller. However, the cardboard box it was shipped in was quite thin and ended up being crushed. Fortunately, the ornament was wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap, which protected it from being damaged. Thank you for selling this classic Radko ornament!

This Item is nearly perfect match for what I had in my mind when I imagined initial pendant. Shipping was very fast, quality packaging, charm came in a small box. I recommend this seller. Shipping a little high, but it depends how much you want something and the price of an item. This one evens out 100%.

If you love literature and history Galeano and all three volumes of Memory of Fire is for you!
The first volume of a trilogy that's one of the great accounts ot the history of the Americas. Galeano had the heart of a poet and the mind of a historian. From the introduction" -“I was a wretched history student. History classes were like visits to the waxworks or the Region of the Dead. The past was lifeless, hollow, dumb. They taught us about the past so that we should resign ourselves with drained consciences to the present: not to make history, which was already made, but to accept it. Poor History had stopped breathing: betrayed in academic texts, lied about in classrooms, drowned in dates, they had imprisoned her in museums and buried her, with floral wreaths, beneath statuary bronze, and monumental marble.

Galeano had the heart of a poet and the mind of a historian. From the introduction" -“I was a wretched history student. History classes were like visits to the waxworks or the Region of the Dead. The past was lifeless, hollow, dumb. They taught us about the past so that we should resign ourselves with drained consciences to the present: not to make history, which was already made, but to accept it. Poor History had stopped breathing: betrayed in academic texts, lied about in classrooms, drowned in dates, they had imprisoned her in museums and buried her, with floral wreaths, beneath statuary bronze, and monumental marble. Perhaps Memory of Fire can help give her back breath, liberty, and the word. Through the centuries, Latin American has been despoiled of gold and silver, nitrates and rubber, copper and oil: its memory has also been usurped. From the outset it has been condemned to amnesia by those who have prevented it from being. Official Latin American history boils down to a military parade of bigwigs in uniforms fresh from the dry cleaners. I am not a historian. I am a writer who would like to contribute to the rescue of the kidnapped memory of all America, but above all of Latin America, that despised and beloved land: I would like to talk to her, share her secrets, ask her of what difficult clays she was born, from what acts of love and violation she comes…I do not want to write an objective work—neither wanted to nor could. There is nothing neutral about this historical narration. Unable to distance myself, I take sides: I confess it and am not sorry… What is told here has happened, although I tell it in my style and manner.” Galeano, [Memory of Fire: Genesis, translator Cedric Belfrage, MR, xv].

It looks like it was on a shelf with for so long that it has a faded spine. I don't care, that gives it character, and makes me seem less of a dilettante.
