Описание: Laughter is the language of the soul, Pablo Neruda said. Among the most lasting voices of the most tumultuous (in his own words, the saddest) century, a witness and a chronicler of its most decisive events, he is the author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin Americas most revered writers, the emblem of the engaged poet, an artist whose heart, always with the people, is literally consumed by passion. His work, oscillating from epic meditations on politics and history to intimate reflections on animals, food, and everyday objects, is filled with humor and affection. This bilingual selection of more than fifty of Nerudas best poems, edited and with an introduction by the distinguished Latin American scholar Ilan Stavans and brilliantly translated by an array of well-known poets, also includes some poems previously unavailable in English. I Explain a Few Things distills the poets brilliance to its most essential and illuminates Nerudas commitment to using the pen as a calibrator for his age. Pablo Neruda (1904-73) was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1971. His books include Residence on Earth, Canto General, Extravagaria, and Isla Negra. Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College. Laughter is the language of the soul, Pablo Neruda said.

Perhaps the most popular modern poet in the world, the Chilean-born Neruda won the Nobel Prize for an enormous body of verse that includes introspective lyrics of love and lust; sinuously enthusiastic elemental odes to artichokes, watermelon, salt, Walt Whitman and the human eye; declamations in favor of the labor movement, the Communist Party and the working people of any nation; and involuted late poems of self-doubt. Perhaps no serious writer of verse since Whitman has combined so much scholarly attention with so much enthusiasm in a broad international public . . . Memoirist, critic and translator Stavans has culled this useful portable volume, with its facing-page English and Spanish.--Publishers Weekly

Stavans objective in this bilingual selection is smaller if no less ambitious: to distill the poets exuberance to its most essential . . . This is a hefty task: Nerudas collected works total some six thousand pages, and Stavans admits in the introduction that Neruda left us an overdose of bad poetry. Still, an unsmoothed Neruda is better than a censored Neruda, he contends. To fully appreciate the sublime, it helps to meddle with the unworthy. Stavans succeeds in presenting an unsmoothed Neruda, who, he argues, is more ideological than the romantic hero moviegoers met in Il Postino.--Carrie Fountain, Austin American-Statesman
