Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - exceptionl experience
for those who love adventure and traveling, this is an amazing history from an exceptional writer



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - autobiografia poetica
Para los que gustan de un buen relato hecho por uno de los mayores literatos de nuestra epoca, no busquen mas. Neruda es sin duda un coloso en el mundo de la literatura hispana contemporanea. Para conocer mejor el periodo historico que describe en este libro sugiero que lean la historia de la guerra civil Espanola y conozcan bien el pensamiento de los intelectuales de la epoca. Es claro que Neruda romantiza el socialismo sovietico sin conocerlo bien pero eso no disminuye esta obra maestra que entre ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great writing and somewhat distorted view of reality

"Confieso Que He Vivido," means I confess that I have lived. And Sr. Neruda certainly did that...with zest, zeal and so much talent. I read Neruda's book in Spanish, but feel more comfortable writing this review ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - muy hermosa prosa
Este es un libro de gran intensidad narrativa, lleno de fragmentos de una vida muy fructífera y muy poética. La vida que Neruda nos cuenta es fragmentaria y fragmentada, llena de elementos realistas de alto contenido poético. Como el mismo expresa, esa vida es muchas vidas, es la vida de todos los poetas. Este libro nos cuenta como vivió en su estadía por varios países en los cuales se sintió atacado de una aguda soledad que permeo su poesía y su vida, de como lo atrapo una guerra y de como llego a ser ...
