Without question...

...one of the most beautiful sets of poems in the history of poetry. Exquisite is the only word to describe Neruda's images and language. I have read the poems both in English and Spanish and even though the Spanish version is, of course, far superior, the poems don't really lose much in these translations. Neruda is the ultimate, TRUE romantic and not the schlocky caricature that we've come to accept as the essence of romance. Neruda understood the human condition with regards to love and its consequences like few other poets and it shows in the magical beauty of his work.

A gorgeous collection

Neruda's work evokes a passionate lament of love lost and love found. Remorseful as it is hopeful, Neruda fills the soul with dainty words and vivid imagery that will haunt you. This collection is perfect for the passionate. It features my favorite poem, I like for you to be still.

This Book is Exquisite!!

Never read anything as beautiful as these words!! So poignant, so honest, so real! Speaks of love in terms that we all understand. It speaks of love in all its glories, pains, frustrations and ecstasies. It captures love in all its moments, from that first adrenaline rush to the last bitter moments of a relationship, as in "Tonight I write the saddest lines". So much passion and sensitivity wrapped up in one book! This book has become my travelling companion. I take it everywhere with me!! I LOVE YOU NERUDA, MI CORAZON!!!!!!!!

Moving and Mesmerizing Verse

Neruda's words move the mind and soul. He sets you adrift in a sea of romanticism and imagery that only captures the reader's imagination. The "Song of Despair" remains one of the greatest love poems written ever and this edition captures all the imagery of the original Spanish text. For those who enjoy Neruda, please take a look at Julia de Burgos' "Song of the Simple Truth".

like artwork...

Pablo Neruda shapes his words like a sculptor does is artwork. His precise imagery is so delicately perfect that it translates beautifully from spanish to english. I highly recommend his poems to anyone who needs advice or consolation about love. Neruda knows what is up.....check this out! I LOVE HIS POEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
