Dang, Neruda cuts deep. I loved most of this book, but the last part about all the war stuff was not for me.
Such a wonderful poet, with excellent use of imagery. Definitely read this in Spanish if you can; it's so much better in the original language.
I loved how blunt he could be! However, I found the english translation to be a bit dry, so I stuck with the original spanish. So it goes with translations I guess.
took a little more time to read this masterpiece and digest everything.Neruda is definitely one of my favorite poets.

I enjoyed this as I do all Neruda but it took me most of the year to finish it as I got 80% through it and was beaten down by the imagery from 3rd volume based on the Spanish Civil War. I let it sit for several months and came back to it in the last days of the year.
