Pablo Neruda was the pseudonym of Chilean poet Ricardo Neftali Reyes
Basualto. He was born in Parral, a little town in central Chile, but
his family moved to Temuco City when he was just a few months old. It
was there he showed interest in poetry and made his early works, and
where he picked "Pablo Neruda" as a pseudonym because his father did
not approve of his writing.
Neruda He is considered one of the greatest Spanish-language poets of
the 20th century. He is called "The Poet of Love" because his poetry is
sensual and sometimes very erotic. He was the honorary Chilean consul
in Burma, Ceylon, Java, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Barcelona and Madrid.
In 1943 he returned to Chile but left in 1949 because Chilean President
Gabriel Gonzalez Videla was after him for political reasons. From
1949-52 he lived in exile in different European countries. He was also
known as an outspoken Communist. he died in Santiago, Chile, a few days
after the military coup in which his friend
Salvador Allende, the first socialist
to have been democratically elected in Latin America, was toppled and
later murdered.
