Un convincente retrato biográfico de una de las figuras más fascinantes e influyentes en la historia de América Latina, Pablo Neruda.

Pocos poetas han capturado la imaginación mundial como Pablo Neruda. En su país natal, Chile, como en toda América Latina y en muchas otras partes del mundo, su nombre y su legado se han convertido casi en un sinónimo de movimientos de liberación, y con el lenguaje del amor erótico.

Este libro es el producto de quience años de investigación por Mark Eisner, escritor, traductor y director de documentales. El libro describe vívidamente su vida, prosa intensa y creencias fervientes en la obligación del poeta de usar la poesía para el bien social. Combina tres ámbitos principales de la vida de Neruda: su poesía aclamada mundialmente; su participación política; y su tumultuosa e incluso controversial vida personal; formando una narrativa coherente de intimidad y amplitud.

Los acontecimientos fascinantes de la vida de Neruda se intercalan el análisis profundo de Eisner acerca de los poemas, tanto como obras de arte y como reflejo de la vida y época de Neruda. El resultado es un libro que trae a la luz la fascinante historia de la vida de Neruda de una manera nueva, que ofrece una atractiva versión narrativa de la vida y las obras de Neruda, apoyada en una investigación exhaustiva, pero diseñado para presentar esta colosal figura literaria a un público más amplio.
