«Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada» is Pablo Neruda's poetry collection, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (245 pages, in Spanish).
Written in Neruda's youth and originally published in 1924, this collection brings together twenty love poems and a final piece of despair. Its verses combine sensuality, nature and melancholy, with an atmosphere still indebted to modernism, and address desire, solitude and loss.
Part of the Austral Collection (no. 400), in its Nuevo Austral Recomendado series; includes a didactic appendix.
A work commonly read in schools and a classic gateway to Spanish-language poetry, aimed at students and new readers of Neruda.
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).
