First edition in English of Neruda's masterpiece. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Pablo Neruda on the half-title page. Translated by Nathaniel Tarn. Preface by Robert Pring-Mill. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. A very sharp example, rare and desirable signed. "The Heights of Machu Picchu" has been called Pablo Neruda's greatest contribution to poetryâ"a search for the "indestructible, imperishable life" in all things. Inspired by his journey to the ancient ruins, Neruda calls the lost Incan civilization to "rise up and be born," and also empowers the people of his time.
