Memoirs by Pablo Neruda
Neruda's memoirs begin with his childhood spent in the south of Chile and retrace his student days in Santiago. He recalls his sojourn as Chilean consul in Burma, Ceylon and Java, and relives the Spanish Civil War and the murder of Garcia Lorca, an event that turned him into a communist and a poet.
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) is regarded by many as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Born in rural Chile he moved to the capital, Santiago, and published his first book in 1923. During the 20s and 30s he served as a diplomat and was ambassador to Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. This event profoundly changed his writing style to one of addressing social and political concerns. He returned to Chile in 1938 but spent many years in exile due to political conditions. Neruda won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1971. Dennis Maloney is a poet, translator, and landscape architect. His books of translation include The House In the Sand and Isla Negra by pablo Neruda, The Naked Women by Juan Ramon Jimenez, and There is No Road: Proverbs of Antonio Machado.
