This bilingual volume is the definitive collection of the poetry of Pablo Neruda, the 1971 Nobel Prize winner and one of the most profoundly influential poets of the twentieth century. His love poems are earthy and transcendent, and his political poems are the work of a man as incisive, impassioned, and ferociously intelligent as he was sensual. Ben Belitt has drawn the 138 selections in Five Decades from all of Neruda's major works, including the early volumes Residence on Earth, General Song, Elemental Odes, Voyages and Homecomings, Book of Vagaries, A Hundred Love Sonnets, Black Island Memorial, and the later The Hands of Day, World's End, and Skystones.

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. He received the Lenin Peace Prize in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971.
