1: I love Neruda, but...
Appears I am the contra voice on this one. Perhaps all the little poems mean something to the author, but most were either too obscure, silly or meaningless to me.. As it was at the end of his life/career, this is not what made Neruda famous, though it is clear it has a broad and deep appreciation in it's own right. Just didn't click for me, but i would absolutely encourage anyone to check it out for themselves.

2: Beautiful
I love his poetry. The translation is not as good as I expected but it's OK. The drawings are beautiful.
|
3: This is the quintessential Naruda tome.
I cannot be without this book. It gives one all there could be to know about love and life. It is well worth its cost and leaves the reader that much smarter about everything that matters in love (and life)
|
4: Delicious reading
Neruda's use of language is truly sensual, in both English and Spanish. I must read for word lovers.

5: Ode to the Odes to Common Things Book
WOW. I've never been so moved by this book. As I began to read it, I sensed so many different things. How can such wonderful feelings be sensed by such common things. Pablo Neruda is a master in poetry. Im only 16 years old and I've never been so moved by such poetry. what an amazing man he was. it takes real gift to be able and write like that. This book really touched me, that sense and feeling in every line was enchanting. read this book, and you'll appreciate almost everything in life.
