Overview
«El más grande poeta del siglo XX en todos los idiomas». -Gabriel García Márquez
«Neruda significa un hombre nuevo en la América, una sensibilidad con la cual abre todo capítulo emocional americano. Su alta categoría arranca de su rotunda diferenciación». -Gabriela Mistral
Publicado inicialmente en 1933 y ampliado en 1935, Residencia en la tierra es el gran clásico del «más grande poeta del siglo XX en todos los idiomas», en palabras de Gabriel García Márquez. Después de escribir Crepusculario y Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada, y a raíz de una aguda crisis vital sufrida durante su estancia consular en oriente, Neruda se embarcó en la composición de este libro monumental que supuso una ruptura decisiva respecto a su obra anterior y la poesía en español.
Residencia en la tierra es uno de los poemarios más originales y emocionantes de Neruda y también uno de los más arriesgados por su vanguardismo, vinculado indirectamente con la corriente surrealista. Una honda reflexión sobre la vida, sobre la relación entre la naturaleza y los seres humanos, sobre la pérdida y sobre nuestro papel en el universo.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The Nobel laureate’s most intense and personal collection of poems, with a prologue by Raúl Zurita.
“The greatest poet of the twentieth century in every language.” —Gabriel García Márquez
“Neruda means a new man in the Americas, a sensibility with which every emotional American chapter opens. His high standard stems from his resounding differentiation." —Gabriela Mistral
First published in 1933, and expanded in 1935, Residence on Earth is the great classic by “the greatest poet of the twentieth century in every language,” in the words of Gabriel García Márquez. After writing Crepusculario and Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, and due to a severe life crisis he suffered during his consular stay in Asia, Neruda embarked on the composition of this monumental book that marked a decisive break from his previous work and poetry in the Spanish language.
Residence on Earth is one of Neruda’s most original and exciting collection of poems, also one of the most daring for its avant-garde quality, indirectly linked to the surreal movement. A profound reflection of life, of the relationship between nature and human beings, about loss, and about our role in the universe.
