DESCRIPTION:
This complete collection has become a classic for love-struck listeners around the world - passionately sensuous and exploding with all the erotic energy of a new love.. Surrounded by sea, sun, and Capri's natural splendors, Neruda addressed these poems to his lover, Matilde Urrutia, before they were married, but he didn't publish them publicly until 1963. Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, finished writing The Captain's Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri - the paradisiacal setting for the blockbuster film Il Postino (The Postman)
Tender, evocative, lush poems are a feast for a lover's soul Eve Paludan These are tender, evocative, lush poems that would be any woman's saving grace if they were written about her. Every word, carefully chosen, become beacons and messages to those who value eros, as well as agape. What a world of beauty, passion, sensuality, and reverence come. "It's a good poetry book" according to iliketurtles. I think the translation could be better (in my non professional opinion) with the few poems I've read so far. Overall I am pleased with this edition and these poems. I like practicing my Spanish with them.. on the other hand said I chatted once with a Latin American President whose favorite poet was Neruda. I chatted once with a Latin American President whose favorite poet was Neruda. I told him that I read Los Versos del Capitan to my girlfriends."Ay, si!" he chuckled. "Para enamorarlas."Nothing seals the deal like Neruda in bed.
