Book details

Pablo Neruda: Poet of the People / Poeta del pueblo
Description
A new Spanish and English bilingual edition of the stunning picture book biography of Pablo Neruda, one of the world's most enduring and popular poets, from the acclaimed Monica Brown. The book tells the story of a little boy named Neftalí who loved wild things wildly and quiet things quietly. From a young age, he surrounded himself with words, finding comfort and inspiration in the magic between the pages of books. At sixteen, he began publishing his writing as Pablo Neruda and wrote poems about the things he loved, including nature, the marketplace, and the people of Chile and their struggles. With a new translation of Monica Brown's lyrical text and Julia Paschkis' gorgeous art, this edition introduces young readers to the legacy of one of history's most iconic talents.
