(P/B) RESIDENCE ON EARTH

Παρουσίαση

Neruda wrote the first volume of Residence on Earth in 1933 during his years in the Far East, a time of great loneliness and personal crisis for him. Volume two was inspired by his time in Spain and friendship with Federico Garcia Lorca, while in volume three Neruda finds his role as the monumental poet of the people.
Residence on Earth is Pablo Neruda's greatest achievement, a poetry written to speak of everyday life directly to the reader, where Neruda found his public voice and espoused his political faith that solutions could be found to injustice and misery. Residence on Earth is Neruda's own poetic autobiography, his journey from modernism and surrealism to a poetic realism and commitment that makes him "the people's poet". (From the publisher)
