This dual language edition is reissued as a Carcanet Classic. Pablo
Neruda wrote the poems in Los versos del capitan as a celebration
of his love for his third wife, Matilde Urrutia - a love affair
that is itself celebrated in the acclaimed film Il Postino.
Originally published anonymously in 1952 to spare his second wife's
feelings, this bilingual edition is the book's first publication in
Britain. Brian Cole's translations display all the qualities of
vivid imagery, sensuousness, simplicity and passion for which
Neruda's poetry is famous.
