Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Celebrating the works of a great Chilean poet, this collection offers a vibrant translation of Neruda’s sensual and erotic poetry. Famous for his politically engaged lyrics, the Nobel Laureate also wrote bold and sexual sonnets, and this compilation captures the spirit and verbal dexterity of the lesser-known genre. These sonnets from one of the most influential and beloved 20th-century poets accompany questions for discussion and lists of recommended readings and related websites.



About the Author
Pablo Neruda was the pen name of the Chilean writer and communist politician Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1971 and is the author of The Heights of Macchu Picchu. Gustavo Escobedo works as a teacher, photographer, and translator. He lives in Toronto, Ontario. Rosemary Sullivan is the author of 11 books, including Cuba: Grace Under Pressure, Labyrinth of Desire, and The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

3.0 out of 5 stars The poems are lovely, the translation is lacking, September 30, 2008
No complaints about the poetry. Pablo Neruda works are wonderful. Mistakes in translation - example in Sonnet LXXXIX- The line should read:
When I die I want your hands on my eyes

This copy has it:
When I did I want your hands on my eyes

Takes away the pleasure of reading the sonnets.

3.0 out of 5 stars Yes but, May 5, 2009
By Henry Seltzer (Santa Cruz, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just to add to the former reviewer. These translations are also sometimes better that the Tapscott translation that is so much more common. Example from XII: "que oscura claridad se abre entre tus columnas" was translated (Tapscott) as

What secret clarity open through your columns

contrast with (Escobedo)

What dark clarity opens between your columns

- for my money only the second of these makes sense. I didn't get this line until I read this book's version.
