This collection is informative. I bought it because I love Neruda's love poems and interested to read his other poems. This collection comprises of his more political poems. Maybe other people will love it. But I'm not really into political poems that's why I planned to rate it two stars.
However, this is my first time to read Vallejo. And i was entranced with the way he writes poetry. So I decided to give this collection three stars.

This book is a earthy gift like a pinecone.
My professor in college gave me this book as a gift. It's beautiful.
Not my favorite translations, but includes several nice interviews. ACI English Library weekend raid success. Someone received this copy from a girlfriend and the margins are filled with merde. It's hard to put back, but I have no claim to rights over the supplementary "Things you should know" chapter.

I love this book so much it's my permanent bedside read. I would not go anywhere without it!
Excellent collection of their work.

Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean writer and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. Neruda assumed his pen name as a teenager, partly because it was in vogue, partly to hide his poetry from his father, a rigid man who wanted his son to have a "practical" occupation. Neruda's pen name was derived from Czech writer and poet Jan Neruda; Pablo is thought to be fro...more
