Pablo Neruda

Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, known as Pablo Neruda, was a Chilean poet, considered one of the most outstanding figures in 20th-century Hispanic American literature. He was born in Parral, Chile, in 1904. His work encompasses love, politics, history, and nature, with influences from surrealism and a style that evolved from romantic lyricism to epic and politically committed poetry. He served as consul in several countries and was a member of the Communist Party. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971. Some of his most famous works include "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair," "Canto General," and "Residence on Earth." He passed away in Santiago, Chile, in 1973.
