Poetic work that brings together two books by Pablo Neruda.

The second, «Los versos del capitán», written under a pseudonym, also addresses love from a more direct and committed voice. The whole shows the author's evolution in the treatment of love and its contradictions.
Edition from the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection published by El País in 2002. Hardcover format, 160 pages. Includes the texts of «Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada» and «Los versos del capitán».
