Neruda

** NOBEL LAUREATE 1971**

The selection of poems included here follows a criterion of strict quality. It responds exactly to the title: Neruda’s best poems, the most powerful, most intense, and overwhelming, the ones that are full of meaning with experience and language, without any regards for their origins, time frame, or circumstances: only the splendor of its beauty. This is a feast of good poetry as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Neruda’s birth this July.

Description in Spanish: Dada la enorme longitud y variedad de la obra de Neruda, sus poemas se suelen seleccionar según criterios de representación: se escogen para que interpreten, de manera proporcional, las distintas épocas de su vida o sus variados libros cerca de treinta o sus diversos estilos o sus grandes temas.
