Reviews
"The greatest poet of the twentieth century-in any language." --Gabriel Garcíiacute;a Máaacute;rquez
"'The Heights of Macchu Picchu' is a poem of ascension. . . . In its final passages, Neruda's poetry jumps from a personal hope to a global one; from a poetry dealing with the poet's heart to a poetry centered on humanity's struggles. Similar to T.S. Eliot's 1921 poem 'The Waste Land' in showing the emptiness of the modern world, 'The Heights of Macchu Picch'u offers a solution that Eliot never did: become one with your past and use this to create a better future." --BBC
