Veinte Poemas de Amor Y Una Canción Desesperada Y Cien Sonetos de Amor / Twen Ty Love Poems and a Song of Despair and One Hundred Love Sonnets

Premio Nobel de Literatura

“El m?s grande poeta del siglo xx en cualquier idioma”. –Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez

Un gran ?xito desde el mismo momento de su publicaci?n en 1924 cuando el autor contaba con tan solo diecinueve a?os, Veinte poemas de amor y una canci?n desesperada caus? un fuerte revuelo en la conservadora sociedad chilena debido a su franco retrato de la relaci?n del autor con dos mujeres. Se convirti? inmediatamente en una de las colecciones de poes?a m?s le?das, estableciendo a Neruda como una de las m?s singulares voces de la poes?a en espa?ol del siglo XX. Incluso le?do hoy, sigue sorprendiendo por su sincera descripci?n del amor y el sexo.

Tan pasional y hermosa como Veinte poemas de amor y una canci?n desesperada, Cien sonetos de amor incluye algunos de los m?s sensuales e intensos poemas de Pablo Neruda. Aunque publicada treinta y cinco a?os m?s tarde, retiene la ingenuidad y la intensa pasi?n del joven Neruda, mezclada con la sagaz mirada de un hombre que lo ha visto todo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most popular works by Chile’s Nobel Prize-winning poet, Pablo Neruda. Now his two books are kept in one book.

When Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair was first published, it launched into the international spotlight a young and unknown poet whose writings would ignite a generation. Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair is a collection of romantic poems by Pablo Neruda, first published in 1924 when Neruda was 19. It was Neruda’s second published work and made his name as a poet. It’s Neruda’s best-known work, and has sold more than 20 million copies. It remains the best- selling poetry book in the Spanish language ever, almost 100 years after its first publication.

100 Love Sonnets is a collection of one hundred sonnets written by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and was published first in 1959 in Spanish. Against the backdrop of Isla Negra — the sea and wind, the white sand with its scattering of delicate wild flowers, the hot sun and salty smells of the Pacific — Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda sets these joyfully sensual poems in celebration of his love. The subject of that love: Matilde Urrutia de Neruda, the poet’s “beloved wife.” In the book poems are kept in four sections – Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night.
