Love Poems (New Directions Paperbook) by Pablo Neruda (EPUB)

Description

Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino, now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or just to say “I love you!”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.

⭐I love Pablo Neruda and this collection of poems of his is great. I love the cover design and how it contains the original Spanish version on the left with the translated version on the right of every poem included. It’s a nice little pocket sized book that you could take with you or put on a coffee table for reading

⭐The current top review for this book points out that this may not be the best edition to buy. When it comes to the definitive version of the poems, with the title and order preferred by Neruda, I can’t argue with his expertise. I will say, however, that this is a beautiful book. It’s pocket-sized and the cover is very pretty. Overall, the design is of very high quality and this book would make a perfect romantic gift. The poems themselves are wonderful — they cover the total roller coaster of love and desire.

⭐Very nice little book, which I’m enjoying. It’s small and lightweight, so it’s not difficult to hold. I’ve loved Neruda’s poetry for years. If you’ve never read his work, give it a try. This is an inexpensive book … would make a lovely little Christmas gift.

⭐I enjoy reading this book of poems having it in French and then English is just amazing. I love it. The poems if you read are about his relationship and how he see’s his partner. Some of the words just take your breath away

⭐Lovely little book, beautiful poetry – what more could you ask for from such a fabulous poet? I love the layout in that you can read the original poem and see the translation as well. Very passionate and romantic, even erotic but of course in the best possible taste.

⭐I ordered several Neruda books, this is without doubt the most romantic and one of the best anthologies of his work.Romantic, natural and erotic.The book was smaller then I thought but in new quality and beautiful pink, with elegant gold design.Would recommend this book as a great collection, or a brilliant romantic gift.
