Selected by a team of poets and prominent Neruda scholars in both Chile and the U.S., this is a definitive selection that draws from the entire breadth and width of Neruda's various styles and themes.
An impressive group of translators that includes Alistair Reid, Stephen Mitchell, Robert Hass, Stephen Kessler and Jack Hirschman, have come together to revisit or completely retranslate the poems; and a handful of previously untranslated works are included as well.
This selection sets the standard for a general, high-quality introduction to Neruda's complete oeuvre.

Best of the Best of Neruda and Amazing Translations
Derived From Web , May 3, 2022
Where to begin? This book bar far exceeded my expectations. I used to live in Chile, graduated high school there and then went on to college, taking classes in Spanish. I've had the honor of working with Pablo Neruda and he's my favorite of all time. The translations are spot on, and the story is told with great compassion. I mean, seriously, what a magical world! The selections of Neruda's works truly represent the essential poems - especially if you are trying to familiarize yourself with his works. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. A must-have for any Neruda enthusiast, or for those just getting acquainted.

Pablo Neruda was one of the 20th century's greatest poets. As a native speaker of Spanish, I can say that these are some of the better translations of his work and this volume does an excellent job of cherrypicking many of his best poems.

My first language is English and my second is Spanish. It is written in a way that makes it comfortable whether you are speaking a foreign language or not. I also love the poetry because it evokes beautiful feelings, he said. This book is a great read, Levine said. It is a useful tool for those who learn a language and it simply is a good read.

An excellent collection of Pablo Neruda's poems
Derived From Web , Oct 2, 2020
If you enjoy Pablo Neruda's poetry, and don't have a book like this, I highly recommend it. Those who don't understand Spanish can find the translations well done. But if one does understand Spanish, then the comparisons are fun, too.
