Regalo de un poeta (Spanish Edition) - Hardcover

Pablo Neruda's penchant for romantic verses has made him one of the most popular Nobel Prize-winning poets, and this gorgeously illustrated book makes a fine introduction to his work. Born in Chile in 1904, Neruda was famous for his political activism and his love affairs, two passions that provided abundant material for his writing. This anthology is definitely tilted toward the poet's romantic verses half the book is taken up with love poems but the later sections, "Tierra" (Earth), "Poesia" (Poetry), and "Hombre" (Man), offer glimpses of his other interests as well; selections from all of Neruda's books are included. Dafni Amecke Tzitzivako's lush watercolor paintings complement the text with vibrant images of flowers, oceans, gardens, and hillsides, making this an ideal choice for gifts or casual reading collections. Marcela Valdes, "Cr¡ticas"
