«Cien sonetos de amor» is Pablo Neruda's poetry collection, published by Austral in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together one hundred sonnets dedicated to love, written from maturity and with a formal bareness that shuns the sonic virtuosity of the classical sonnet. Neruda conceived them as poetry made of simple, opaque matter; in these verses love is sung from the tangible and the body, and the word becomes a path of fusion with the world.
The work originally appeared in 1959. This edition is part of Austral's Contemporánea collection, in its Poesía series.
For readers of love poetry and Hispanic American literature; Pablo Neruda received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971.
Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature. Neruda became known as a poet when he was 13 years old and wrote in a variety of styles, including surrealist poems, historical epics, political manifestos, a prose autobiography, and passionate love poems such as the ones in his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair (1924).
