Premio Nobel de Literatura

El mas grande poeta del siglo xx en cualquier idioma . -Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Un gran exito desde el mismo momento de su publicacion en 1924 cuando el autor contaba con tan solo diecinueve anos, Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada causo un fuerte revuelo en la conservadora sociedad chilena debido a su franco retrato de la relacion del autor con dos mujeres. Se convirtio inmediatamente en una de las colecciones de poesia mas leidas, estableciendo a Neruda como una de las mas singulares voces de la poesia en espanol del siglo XX. Incluso leido hoy, sigue sorprendiendo por su sincera descripcion del amor y el sexo.

Tan pasional y hermosa como Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada, Cien sonetos de amor incluye algunos de los mas sensuales e intensos poemas de Pablo Neruda. Aunque publicada treinta y cinco anos mas tarde, retiene la ingenuidad y la intensa pasion 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.
