First published in 1924, 'Twenty Love Poems and a Desperate Song' is Pablo Neruda's most popular work and the one that consolidated his literary prestige in the Hispanic world. This book, of great literary importance, combines the modernist heritage with the expressive findings of the new avant-garde, resulting in pieces of moving lyrical intensity. Vital exaltation and eroticism give way to melancholy in moments of mourning and separation, evoking the romantic heritage. This masterpiece is one of the peaks of love poetry in the Spanish language.
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).
