A vast epic poem that traverses the history and nature of Latin America, from its pre-Columbian roots to the author's contemporary era: it celebrates its landscapes, peoples and cultures and denounces oppression and injustice. Considered one of the peaks of 20th-century poetry, it unites collective memory with Neruda's personal voice.
