Description

Oh, maligna follows the journey of a young Pablo Neruda to Rangún, in ancient Burma, where he arrived in 1927 to take up the position of honorary consul for Chile. There, he met Josie Bliss - the fierce and fiery one, as she was known to him - with whom he began an intense and tumultuous relationship that ultimately forced him to flee to Ceilán.

This book is not just a retelling of a great passion, but also a personal tribute to Neruda, and above all, to literature and the power of words. Jorge Edwards, a compatriot and friend of the Chilean poet, masterfully recreates this story, one that has stayed with him until his death.

Through Oh, maligna, we gain insight into the life and work of Pablo Neruda, and the enduring impact of his experiences on his writing. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in literature and poetry, this book offers a unique perspective on the life of one of Chile's most beloved poets.
