Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.54 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

Readers praised Neruda’s sensual, lyrical intensity and the way his poems can recast everyday perception; some even used his lines in personal letters. Others admired the ambition but struggled with accessibility and translation, noting the work may require rereading—or Spanish—to fully land. Overall, the collection is seen as powerful and transformative, though not universally easy to grasp.

From the publisher

Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems caused a scandal when published anonymously in 1952. In later editions, these verses became the most celebrated of the Noble Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images that reveal in gentle lingering lines an erotic re-imagining of the world through the prism of a lover's body: "today our bodies became vast, they grew to the edge of the world / and rolled melting / into a single drop / of wax or meteor...." Written on the paradisal island of Capri, where Neruda "took refuge" in the arms of his lover Matilde Urrutia, Love Poems embraces the seascapes around them, saturating the images of endless shores and waves with a new, yearning eroticism. This wonderful book collects Neruda's most passionate verses.
