The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems

Excellent price.

a unique collection of poems

Good selection of poems but a bizarre typeface, and some translations to be wary of.

Beautiful poems and a great way to practice ones Spanish.... It's English on one page and so ish on the other

Love this book of poems they are so deep and meaningful

This book is an awesome work with splendid poems that have something to say to everyone.Side-by-side texts with their translations are great in making the reader evaluate the meanings and nuances in both languages.I love these verses:"And the air came in with orange-blossom fingersover all those asleep:a thousand years of air, months, weeks of air,of blue wind, of iron cordillera,that were like soft hurricanes of footstepspolishing the lonely boundary of the stone."The imagery is vivid and thrilling, like in these verses:"Full woman, carnal apple, hot moon,thick smell of seaweed, crushed mud and light,what obscure clarity opens between your columns?What ancient night does man touch with his senses?"I can recommend this poetry to anyone.Joyce Akesson, author of Love's Thrilling Dimensions and The Invitation

lovely. even to speak aloud if you dont understand the Spanish it sound great

I loved this book. Pablo Neruda is a fantastic Poet. He has a magical gift for words. His love poems are second to none and after reading the ones in this book I realised why he had such a huge female fan base. I would thoroughly recommend this book. I can't get enough and will be buying more.
