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.
