Product Description
Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino, now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you!" Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images and reveling in a fiery re-imagining of the world. Mostly written on the island paradise of Capri (the idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning movie Il Postino), Love Poems embraces the seascapes surrounding the poet and his love Matilde Urrutia, their waves and shores saturated with a new, yearning eroticism.
And when you appear
all the rivers sound
in my body, bells
shake the sky,
and a hymn fills the world.
© 1973 by Neruda & Walsh

Very romantic, 2010-06-23
Por Moxie Dawn(Moxie Dawn)
I love that this book includes the original Spanish as well as the English translation on pages opposite each other. The book itself is very attractive, and a nice small size which is just right to keep in a purse or take on a trip. Could make a nice gift for a Spanish student, or for anyone overly romantic. The poems are quite passionate and evocative.

Pablo Neruda is a master of his craft, beautiful love poems., 2010-05-24
Por An Avid Reader
This book is full of wonderful love poems, descriptive, full of passion and in one word - beautiful!
Having each poem in English and Spanish in one book is a really good idea and having seen what Newspapers have written about Pablo, I totally agree that he is one of the greatest poets of the 20th Century in any language.
Pablo wrote most of this book on the Island Paradise of Capri and he has obviously been inspired by the surroundings such as in the poems "Wind on the Island" and "Night on the Island" as well as his lover Matilde.
I quote from "Wind on the Island"
"Hide me in your arms
just for this night,
while the rain breaks
against sea and earth
its innumerable mouth"
Anyone who has ever fallen in love will identify with it.
Another book that I love which is also love poetry is "The Poetry of Passion (for People with a Pulse) a variety of poems ranging from sensual to humorous.
The Poetry of Passion (for People with a Pulse)
Pablo's "20 love poems and a song of despair" is another of my favourites.

Beautiful Love Poems in a pocket sized book., 2010-05-22
Por Juliette Westbrook-Finch author of "The Poetry of Passion (for People with a Pulse)
This is a pocket sized book full of passion and romance written in English and Spanish (very handy if you're learning Spanish!) The poems are set out so that the Spanish poem is on the left hand page and the English translation is on the right hand page.
With beautiful lines such as "with your brow on my brow and your mouth on my mouth, our bodies tied by the love that consumes us" from the poem "Wind on the Island" and "the fire saw our naked kiss grow until it touched hidden stars, and it saw grief be born and die like a broken sword against invincible love" from the poem "Epithalamium" this book is wonderful!
I love poetry and Pablo Neruda is the best poet to read if you want love poems, I have 7 of his books and still want more! He is such an inspiration to me!

I loved it, 2010-02-05
Por Jennifer Fox
The other reviews aren't really about the poems in the book, which are great, and I like the design of the cover.

It took foreverrrrrrrr, 2009-04-15
Por Fiona Granquist(Fiona)
It seriously took 3 weeks to get my books. It said that I would get my book in 5-6 days, not 3 freaking weeks! It sucked. Anyways, Pablo Neruda rules!
