El cartero de Neruda / The Postman by Antonio Skarmeta
The unforgettable inspiration for the Academy Award winning Il Postino, this classic novel established Antonio Skarmeta s reputation as one of the most representative authors of the post-boom generation in contemporary Latin American letters (Christian Science Monitor). Boisterously funny and passionate, The Postman tells of young love ignited by the poetry of Pablo Neruda. Set in the colorful, ebullient years preceding the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, the book has been translated into nearly twenty-five languages around the world.
Antonio Skarmeta is a Chilean writer whose novel and film Ardiente paciencia inspired the 1994 Academy Award-winning movie, Il Postino (The Postman). The novel's English translation bears the same title. His fiction has received dozens of awards and has been translated into nearly thirty languages. In 2011, his novel Los días del arcoíris (The Days of the Rainbow) won the prestigious Premio iberoamericano Planeta-Casa de América de Narrativa. His play El Plebiscito, based on the same true incident as this novel, was the basis for the Oscar-nominated film No.
