Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, finished writing The Captain's Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri--the paradisal setting for the blockbuster film Il Postino (The Postman). Surrounded by sea, sun, and Capri's natural splendors, Neruda addressed these poems to his lover Matilde Urrutia before they were married, but didn't publish them publicly until 1963. This complete, bilingual collection has become a classic for love-struck readers around the world--passionately sensuous, and exploding with all the erotic energy of a new love.

About Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda (1904–1973) was the pen name of Ricardo Eliécer Neftálí Reyes Basoalto, born in Parral, Chile. He published Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair) in 1924, at nineteen. His three-volume Residencia en la tierra appeared between 1933 and 1947, and the epic Canto General was published in 1950. Neruda served as a Chilean diplomat, was elected to the Senate in 1945, and belonged to the Communist Party of Chile.
