Subtitled 'A Passion for Life', but unfortunately passion is the one thing this book didn't deliver, despite the fact that Neruda is probably the world's most celebrated love poet. Read our reviews and scores over on the main site, here, although if you'd rather stay I can tell you we found this biography exhaustive but also exhausting; a scholarly achievement on the part of Adam Feinstein, but also unfortunately a rather dry and offputting read.
Here is Amanda, communing with the master at his house in Valparaiso, Chile. And below Neruda with his third wife, Matilde Urrutia.
