Pablo Neruda
(Author)
William O'Daly
(Translator)
Description
Facing death from cancer, Neruda wrote no book more direct and passionate in its language, and this translation--the first time these poems appeared in English--was cited by Bloomsbury Review as a Book of the Year and called one of the most valuable Neruda books we have today. In this lyrical suite, the poet meditates on his imminent death, embraces solitude, and returns to nature as a source of regeneration. Bilingual with introduction.

About the Author
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) held diplomatic posts in Asian and European countries. After joining the Communist Party, Neruda was elected to the Chilean Senate but was forced to live in exile in Mexico for several years. Eventually he established a permanent home on Isla Negra. In 1970 he was appointed as Chile's ambassador to France; in 1971 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. William O'Daly is one of the most celebrated translators of the poetry of Pablo Neruda. He lives in California.
