The classic memoir of the Nobel Prize-winning poet, now expanded
with newly discovered material Southern Chile was an open frontier
when the beloved poet Pablo Neruda was born there in 1904. A
motherless, pensive child in the wild, he began writing poems long
before quitting the countryside for Santiago, where he spent his
bohemian student years. From there, his memoir follows his travels
as a globetrotting Chilean consul--including a stint in Spain
during its civil war, and in Mexico, where he attracted attention
for aiding a man suspected of conspiring to assassinate Leon
Trotsky--and his short-lived service as a Chilean senator. Neruda,
a communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant
was issued for his arrest. After a year in hiding, he escaped on
horseback over the Andes, then to Europe and Asia. The memoirs
conclude shortly after the coup in 1972 that overthrew his close
friend Salvador Allende, Chile's first democratically elected
president, as Neruda himself battled cancer. Now expanded to
include newly discovered material, The Complete Memoirs is the
definitive edition of Neruda's classic memoir--a moving, revealing
record of his life as a poet, a patriot, and one of the twentieth
century's true men of conscience.
