📖 Synopsis
The most-read love poetry in Spanish, written by Neruda at twenty. "Tonight I can write the saddest lines".
✍️ ChatZona's review
Neruda wrote these poems at twenty and already knew exactly how to cause damage with words. The most-read poetry collection in Spanish is not the most-read by accident: the mix of desire, loss and solitude in its verses touches something very basic. True, some poems sound dated or too grandiose; also true that "Tonight I can write the saddest lines" remains one of the finest openings in modern lyric poetry. Essential even for those who do not normally read poetry.
