Pablo Neruda - Extravagaria (Jonathan Cape, 1972).  Translated by Alastair Reid.

ISBN: 0224007653 | 304 pages | Bilingual edition | PDF


First published in 1958, Extravagaria marks an important stage in Pablo Neruda's progress as a poet.  The book was written just after he had returned to Chile after many wanderings and moved to his beloved Isla Negra on the Pacific coast.  These sixty-eight poems thus denote a resting point, a rediscovery of sea and land, and an "autumnal period" (as the poet himself called it).  In this book, Neruda developed a lyric poetry decidedly more personal than his earlier work.


Review

"A smart little book that one can happily welcome into the family and allow to start growing old." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
