In later editions, these verses became the most celebrated of the Noble Prize winner’s oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images that reveal in gentle lingering lines an erotic re-imagining of the world through the prism of a lover’s body: “today our bodies became vast, they grew to the edge of the world / and rolled melting / into a single drop / of wax or meteor….” Written on the paradisal island of Capri, where Neruda “took refuge” in the arms of his lover Matilde Urrutia, Love Poems embraces the seascapes around them, saturating the images of endless shores and waves with a new, yearning eroticism.
This wonderful book collects Neruda’s most passionate verses.

Es entonces a travs de los viciosos, penitentes y buenos que se revela la vida en todas sus formas, sus miserias y hazaas, pero tambin se muestra la vida que no es, la muerte, que tiene su propia vida, todo como una mezcla agraciada planteada por Dante, que se vuelve arquitecto de lo universal y de lo sublime.

This edition of The Complete Works of Alberto Caeiro is based on the magnificent Portuguese Tinta-da-China edition, published in Lisbon in 2016, and contains an illuminating introduction by the Portuguese editors Jernimo Pizarro and Patricio Ferrari, some facsimiles of the original Portuguese texts, and prose excerpts about Caeiro and his work written by Fernando Pessoa well as his other heteronyms lvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, and other fictitious authors such as Antonio Mora and I.I.Crosse.
