Shelf wear. Edge sunned. Pages unmarked. xix, 71 p., 22 cm. <br> "The Heights of Macchu Picchu is the finest and most famous of Neruda's longer poems, and provides the key to his earlier work. It was inspired by his journey to a ruined Peruvian Inca city, high up in the Andes, one of the most beautiful and astonishing archeological sites in the world. Neruda's journey takes on all the symbolic qualities of a personal 'venture into the interior' as the poem progresses, exploring both the inner roots of the poet and the past of Latin American Man." - Farrar, Straus and Giroux <br> Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet, diplomat, and politician who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. He is perhaps the most important Latin American poet of the 20th century.
