This book is such a beautiful introduction to a great poet and the impact of his writing and life.
I wish it included more of his poetry though! I love the letters written by all of his friends and the pictures provide an intimate glimpse into an incredibly life.

I am a huge poetry fan, and Pablo Neruda is one of my favorites. His verses are creative and thought provoking. His love poetry makes me smile and cry.... all at once.
This book includes not only some of my favorite poems by Neruda but also comments by, and photos of him with,some of his Chilean friends.
eerie, like mists across the ocean then suddenly brilliant and solid forms appear, as if they were always just so…
as i loved his quite erotically charged love poems...he inspires to write,,
i can see the colour of hope ,,as he wrote in green :)

These pictures along with Poetry about his Residence are timeless!
It was a real easy read and great introduction to the lifestyle of the poet. I wasn't aware of him but now I want to read so much more of him. Lots of photographs of his home and testimonies from his friends with his poetry all mixed in.
This is a must for all Neruda enthusiasts. It offers insight into his world; photos of his homes couples with his own quotes and explanations from friends and his wife. This book is a treasure!
This is probably my favorite and most treasured book of Pablo Neruda. This is the book that introduced me to this amazing poet. Found on the book shelf at Half Price Books many, many years ago.
I love the pictures. They provide a precious glimpse of a genuine life. Would be a five, except I wish that it included longer poems -- not just portions.
A book full of stirring pictures, warm stories and beautiful poetry by and about the poet Pablo Neruda.
This, for me, is the perfect book. The melding of fragments and photographs, the sepia mood.
beautiful . . . enough said.
I'm a sucker for anything Neruda. That said, this is a great portrait and tribute to a man known as the people's poet. It interweaves his poetry with stories by those who knew him or met him even briefly and with photographs of the man, his favorite things, his houses and the storytellers. It is beautiful aesthetically as well as emotionally.
