This was an absolutely beautiful book of poetry. It is centred around Neruda's experiences with the Spanish civil war; I don't know enough about that conflict to analyze it too deeply, but this will definitely not be the last Neruda that I read.
Sometimes confusing with all the factions at play in this Spanish War I knew little about, but overall it was a great read; I got to know some of the major players, especially for the Republican side, and learned how this war previewed WWII and how the US shut its eyes when Texaco provided Franco's forces with essential fuel but would not let others supply arms or other supplies to the Republican side. Now I'm looking forward to re-reading Hemingway's book on this war and other books related to it, to get different perspectives.
