Product Description:
This collection of Neruda's most essential poems will prove indispensable. Selected by a team of poets and prominent Neruda scholars in both Chile and the U.S., this is a definitive selection that draws from the entire breadth and width of Neruda's various styles and themes. An impressive group of translators that includes Alistair Reid, Stephen Mitchell, Robert Haas, Jim Harrison, Stephen Kessler and Jack Hirschman, have come together to revisit or completely retranslate the poems; and a handful of previously untranslated works are included as well. This selection sets the standard for a general, high--quality introduction to Neruda's complete oeuvre.
Pablo Neruda was born in Chile in 1904. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

This book is an awesome work with splendid poems that have something to say to everyone.
Side-by-side texts with their translations are great in making the reader evaluate the meanings and nuances in both languages.
I love these verses:
"And the air came in with orange-blossom fingers

I lost sleep last night to devour its last page...I love a night like last night where a book keeps me awake like a lover.
This collection is the juice of a cool of mango on a scathing summer day, I tasted radience in the words!! I immediately got more to give as presents to friends in love.
This collection is a falling in love with life and shouldn't be missed!

I started to read this book with skepticism, because I think that it is impossible to translate Neruda in his exact sense. However, I had a very good impression of the book, and I think that the author did a great effort understanding Neruda's poems. Obviously, if you really want to know Neruda, you need to read his work in Spanish, but still it is a good approach to introduce you in his poetry.

It's difficult to read Neruda and remain intact.
"Of all that I was, I bear only these cruel scars,
because those griefs confirm my very existence."
