Features: This book is the work of the greatest Latin American poet of the century, the Chilean diplomat, and Nobel Prize laureate, Neruda. In nearly half a century of literary creation in his life, love poetry has always been his most popular theme, making Neruda's name almost synonymous with love poetry. "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair," "Poems of the Sea Captain," and "One Hundred Love Sonnets" are his three poetry collections that most directly address the theme of love. And this book, "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair," is Neruda's most popular collection, selling millions in Latin America, and is hailed as the "Bible of Love Poetry in the 20th Century."
