Pablo Neruda Livres

Vingt poèmes d'amour et une chanson désespérée suivi par Les vers du capitaine forme le livre d'une célébration nouvelle : l'amour y est toujours surprise, risque, désir, submersion, insurrection perpétuelle. L'homme y est autre, la femme y est autre, l'un et l'autre non pas meilleurs, mais en alerte, sur le qui-vive et, par là, plus vivants. Les Vingt poèmes d'amour ont connu, dans tout l'univers hispanique, une extraordinaire fortune, plus d'un million d'exemplaires diffusés. Les vers du capitaine, qui semblent l'œuvre d'un forban inspiré, ont d'abord été publiés anonymement - pour préserver le secret de la relation amoureuse, dira Neruda - avant, eux aussi, de chanter dans toutes les mémoires du Chili, d'Amérique et d'Espagne. Généreuse, sensuelle, éblouie, passionnée est la poésie de Pablo Neruda. Militante également, si l'on accorde à ce terme son poids de révolte, de fraternité, d'utopies partagées. La parole de Neruda, c'est d'abord un élan, une houle de mots qui font sens et font chant. Cela touche au cœur et au corps avant de monter à la tête. L'écriture ici, même quand elle se nourrit des tourments du monde, est une fête, un plaisir, une jouissance.

Pablo Neruda was a master of the ode, which he conceived as an homage to just about everything that surrounded him. This bilingual volume, edited by Nan Stavans, a distinguished translator and scholar of Latin American literature, gathers all Pablo Neruda's odes for the first time in any language.

This dual-language format enhances the experience, making it accessible to a wider audience and inviting deeper contemplation of the poet's artistry and insights.

The most comprehensive English-language collection of work ever by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century - in any language" - Gabriel García Márquez"In his work a continent awakens to consciousness." So wrote the Swedish Academy in awarding the Nobel Prize to Pablo Neruda, the author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin America's most revered writers, lionized during his lifetime as "the people's poet." This selection of Neruda's poetry, the most comprehensive single volume available in English, presents nearly six hundred poems. Scores of them are in new and sometimes multiple translations, and many accompanied by the Spanish original. In his introduction, Ilan Stavans situates Neruda in his native milieu as well as in a contemporary English-language one, and a group of new translations by leading poets testifies to Neruda's enduring, vibrant legacy among English-speaking writers and readers today.
