Octavo; hardcover, quarter-bound in papered boards with silver-gilt spine titles and a blind-stamped upper board decoration; 628pp., with 16pp. of monochrome plates. Dustwrapper. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The most definitive biography to date of the poet Pablo Neruda, a moving portrait of one of the most intriguing and influential figures in Latin American history. Few poets have captured the global imagination like Pablo Neruda. In his native Chile, across Latin America, and in many other parts of the world, his name and legacy have become almost synonymous with liberation movements, and with the language of erotic love. "Neruda: The Poet's Calling" is the product of fifteen years of research by Mark Eisner, writer, translator, and documentary filmmaker. The book vividly depicts Neruda's monumental life, potent verse, and ardent belief in the "poet's obligation" to use poetry for social good. It braids together three major strands of Neruda's life - his world-revered poetry; his political engagement; and his tumultuous, even controversial, personal life - forming a single cohesive narrative of intimacy and breadth. The fascinating events of Neruda's life are interspersed with Eisner's thoughtful examinations of the poems, both as works of art in their own right and as mirrors of Neruda's life and times. The result is a book that animates Neruda's riveting story in a new way - one that offers a compelling narrative version of Neruda's life and work, underpinned by exhaustive research, yet designed to bring this colossal literary figure to a broader audience. 9780062694201.
