Description
Pablo Neruda's love poems are a sensual and passionate collection that explores the world through the prism of a lover's body. Written in the 1950s, these verses were initially published anonymously, but later became some of the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's work.
Set against the backdrop of the paradisal island of Capri, where Neruda took refuge with his lover Matilde Urrutia, these poems saturate the images of endless shores and waves with a new, yearning eroticism. The result is a wonderful book that collects Neruda's most passionate verses, revealing the beauty of the natural world through the eyes of a lover.
This bilingual edition brings together Neruda's most celebrated love poems, offering a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the 20th century's most celebrated poets.
