Synopsis "One Hundred Love Sonnets: Cien Sonetos de Amor "

"The happiness I feel in offering these to you is vast as a savanna," Pablo Neruda wrote his adored wife, Matilde Urrutia de Neruda, in his dedication of One Hundred Love Sonnets. Set against the backdrop of his beloved Isla Negra, these joyfully sensual poems draw on the wind and tides, the white sand with its scattering of delicate wildflowers, and the hot sun and salty scent of the sea to celebrate their love. Generations of lovers since Pablo and Matilde have shared these poems with each other, making One Hundred Love Sonnets one of the most popular books of poetry of all time. This beautifully redesigned volume, perfect for gift-giving, presents both the original Spanish sonnets and graceful English translations.

Pablo Neruda (Parral, Chile, 1904 - Santiago, Chile, 1973), pseudonym of Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, was one of the most influential and recognized poets of the 20th century. His extensive work ranges from passionate romanticism to political and social poetry. Among his most celebrated books are Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, Canto General, and Residence on Earth. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971, his poetry has been translated into numerous languages and remains one of the most prominent voices in Latin American literature.
