P. 5
When he was 16 years old, Neruda
moved to Chile’s capital, Santiago.
Within a few years he was publishing
his works with the help of one of
Chile’s most important publishers. In
1924 his collection “Veinte poemas
de amor y una cancion desesperada”,
which was a controversial collection
of love poems, was released, and,
many years later, has endured as his
best known work and is arguably
the world’s best selling Spanish
language poetry book.
