Residence On Earth
Description
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pablo Neruda's birth, New Directions is pleased to announce the reissue of a classic work in a timeless translation by Donald D. Walsh and fully bilingual. Residence on Earth is perhaps Neruda's greatest work. Upon its publication in 1973, this bilingual publication instantly became "a revolution... a classic by which masterpieces are judged" (Review). "In Residence on Earth," wrote Amado Alonso, "the tornado of fury will no longer pass without lingering, because it will be identified with [Neruda's] heart."Product Details

Reviews
One of the greatest major poets of the twentieth century.
It is hard not to be swept away by the urgency of his language, and that's especially so when he seems swept away.
The greatest poet of the twentieth century--in any language.--Gabriel Garcia Márquez
