Volodia Valentín Teitelboim Volosky (March 17, 1916 - January 31, 2008) was a Chilean lawyer, politician and author.

Born in Chillán to Jewish immigrants (Moises Teitelboim and Sara Volosky), Teitelboim was interested in literature from an early age. He finished high school (as well as served in the Communist Youth starting at age sixteen), then began his studies in the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile, where at graduation he presented his superior thesis "The Dawn of Capitalism - The Conquest of America."

During the 1940s Teitelboim suffered, along with all the militants of the Chilean Communist Party, persecution and exile, under the ruling of the Democratic Defense Law (also known as Ley maldita).

Born in Chillán to Jewish immigrants (Moises Teitelboim and Sara Volosky), Teitelboim was interested in literature from an early age. He finished high school (as well as served in the Communist Youth starting at age sixteen), then began his studies in the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile, where at graduation he presented his superior thesis "The Dawn of Capitalism - The Conquest of America."

During the 1940s Teitelboim suffered, along with all the militants of the Chilean Communist Party, persecution and exile, under the ruling of the Democratic Defense Law (also known as Ley maldita). He was treated and detained in Pisagua. In 1965 he was elected senator of Santiago, remaining in this position until the coup of September 11, 1973. During the rule of Pinochet he lived in exile in Moscow, where he developed the program Listen Chile. He clandestinely infiltrated the Militant Regiment, presenting them to the authorities in 1988. The next year he was elected president of the Communist Party, a position he held until 1994.

Teitelboim was formerly married to Rachel Weitzmann, with whom he raised a son named Claudio Teitelboim. However, in 2005 it was discovered that Claudio's father was actually the lawyer Álvaro Bunster.

Teitelboim's literary work, for which he was awarded Chile's National Prize in Literature in 2002, as well as the Literature prize of the 1931 Flower Games, is chiefly in the form of memoirs, biographies, and literary essays. His first book Antología de poesía chilena (Anthology of Chilean Poetry) was published in conjunction with Eduardo Anguita in 1932, and compiled the great poets of Chile. He would later say that it committed the errors of omitting Gabriela Mistral and of accentuating the dispute between Vicente Huidobro, Pablo de Rokha, and Pablo Neruda. His series of memoirs, Un muchacho del siglo XX (A Boy of the Twentieth Century, 1997), La gran guerra de Chile y otra que nunca existió (The Great War of Chile and Another That Never Existed, 2000) and Noches de radio (Radio Nights, 2001) present from a political and social perspective the great arch of Chilean history during the 20th century. His best known capacity is that of a biographer, in which he wrote about Jorge Luis Borges, Vicente Huidobro, and with the most critical acclaim, Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral. In terms of membership in literary movements, he is generally located within the Chilean Generation of '38. ...more

Quotes by Volodia Teitelboim (?)

“Konu kıyımlardı. Şili'de tüfekleri kullananlar uzmandılar. Körü körüne ölümlerde "Kimse ya da hiçbir şey ölmüyormuş gibiydi,/toprağa düşen taş,suya kavuşan suydu sanki." Şair bir ceza ister. Kırmızı bir hat çizer. Seçtiği yandaki halktır, öte yandakiler düşmanları.”

“Çünkü seviyordu ve bunu söylemek istiyordu. Onu dile getirme gereksinimi duyuyordu. Yaşam deneyiminin, aşk sıkıntısının, erotik serüveninin tadını insan olarak çıkarmıştır; ama ardından şair olarak onları şiire dönüştürmüştür. Genel olarak duyumsamayla yazma arasında fazla bir zaman geçememiştir. Bunlar ard arda gelen eylemler olacaktır. Kağıt hala ılık olan sevişme yerinin heyecanını neredeyse hemen karşılayacaktır. Kendinin ve başkalarının duyumsadığını dile getirmek için dünyaya gelmiştir.”
