Originally published on June 15, 1924, this collection of poems has become the best-selling and most translated in the history of the Spanish language. Pablo Neruda, at just nineteen years old, achieved worldwide fame thanks to this work, which stands out for its maturity and skill in the use of language. Influenced by poetic modernism, Neruda creates a new expressiveness where the natural landscapes of his native Chile emerge. In these poems, the author proclaims sadness and anguish, but also the joy and sensuality that the experience of first love provokes. Federico García Lorca praised Neruda's poetry, highlighting his passion, tenderness, and sincerity.
Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature. Neruda became known as a poet when he was 13 years old and wrote in a variety of styles, including surrealist poems, historical epics, political manifestos, a prose autobiography, and passionate love poems such as the ones in his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair (1924).
