Book Description
Few writers of any age have described the pleasures and torments of erotic love with such unsentimental directness and sensual precision as Pablo Neruda. In this poetry, too, he is at his most accessible, the language of his odes and lyrics refined to the point at which it achieves what one critic has called 'the naturalness of song.' This short selection draws on work from throughout his writing career, from the famous early collection, Twenty Love Songs and a Song of Despair of 1924 to key works of his maturity like Elemental Odes from 1954 and the autobiographical Memorial de Isla Negra. These ten poems formed the subtext for the well-known film Il Postino which was based on an apocryphal episode in the life of the Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate. They reveal why many believe that Neruda was the finest love poet of the century.

Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair
Author: Pablo Neruda
Publisher: E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books
ISBN: 6257959969
Category : Poetry
Languages : es
Pages : 86
Book Description
Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair) es una de las más célebres obras del poeta chileno Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Publicado en 1924, el poemario lanzó a su autor a la fama con apenas 19 años de edad, y es una de las obras literarias de mayor renombre del siglo XX en la lengua castellana. El libro pertenece a la época de juventud del poeta, ya que fue escrito y publicado cuando no contaba aún con veinte años. Su origen se suele explicar como una evolución consciente de su poética que trata de salirse de los moldes del modernismo que dominaban sus primeras composiciones y su primer libro, Crepusculario. La obra está compuesta por veinte poemas de temática amorosa, más un poema final titulado La canción desesperada. A excepción de este último, los poemas no tienen título. Aunque el poemario esté basado en experiencias amorosas reales del joven Neruda, es un libro de amor que no se dirige a una sola amante. El poeta ha mezclado en sus versos las características físicas de varias mujeres reales de su primera juventud para crear una imagen de la amada irreal que no corresponde a ninguna de ellas en concreto, sino que representa una idea puramente poética de su objeto amoroso.

The Poetry of Pablo Neruda
Author: René de Costa
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674041445
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : es
Pages : 240
Book Description
The most comprehensive English-language collection of work ever by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century--in any language" (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) "In his work a continent awakens to consciousness." So wrote the Swedish Academy in awarding the Nobel Prize to Pablo Neruda, the author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin America's most revered writers, lionized during his lifetime as "the people's poet." This selection of Neruda's poetry, the most comprehensive single volume available in English, presents nearly six hundred poems, scores of them in new and sometimes multiple translations, and many accompanied by the Spanish original. In his introduction, Ilan Stavans situates Neruda in his native milieu as well as in a contemporary English-language one, and a group of new translations by leading poets testifies to Neruda's enduring, vibrant legacy among English-speaking writers and readers today.
