Neruda: Selected Poems - Paperback

by Pablo Neruda (Author)

The collected poems of prolific Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda succeeded in becoming what many poets have aspired to but never achieved: a public voice, a voice not just for the people of his country but for his entire continent. Widely translated, his "poet's obligation" was to become a voice for all those who had no voice, an aspiration that stemmed from his long-time commitment to the communist faith. This collection of poems were collected by Neruda himself. Their richness and variety provide ample evidence of the many selves and modes of the most prolific and most loved poet of the twentieth century.
