Neruda's Canto General is a poetic retelling of the history of South and Central America from the late pre-Columbian era to the middle of the twentieth century. The book is set up like a novel, with chapters and subheadings, a straight-line narration, and a cast of characters. Neruda's communist ideology is visible throughout the work and is a major theme. Canto General leaves the reader with an interesting impression of American history seen through the eyes of the impoversihed people of South America, as well as an idea of how third-world communists perceive reality. This is truly an excellent work, and should be read by everyone.
This is one of Neruda's greatest books. It is a jorney through the history of the American Continent, from its creation, to its conquest until the present day. Most readers will know it from its chapter 'Hights of Machu Picchu' but it is certainly more than that.It is a review of 500 hundred years of history, of war, of love, of betray. Obviously the book is a reflection of Neruda's left wing inclination, but that only adds to the book.In Chile and other parts of Latin America this book is called "The American Bible" and it truly is. Along with Residencia en la Tierra, it is probably Neruda's finest. And is probably the book in which Neruda became what he though his role as a poet ought to be "a voice for all who had no voice".
Una poética revisión de la historia de América Latina. La visión del poeta desde la conquista hasta mediados del siglo pasado con ideologías políticas y algunos viajes. Termina la obra más personal; hablándole más directamente al lector y de si mismo. La obra es muy buena.Esta edición digital tiene algunas faltas ortotipográficas. Problemas de puntuación como preguntas con cierre pero faltas de apertura. La tipografía puede ser abrupta y pierde estética. Palabras escritas erróneamente.Si puedes ignorar algunos errores, esta obra debe ser leída...
"This is possibly the most important volume of Hispanic American poetry of the 20th century. This offering by the Chilean Nobel Prize winner is required reading and included in the canon of Western civilization,"as quoted in "The New Essential Guide to Spanish Reading" published by America Reads Spanish, a campaign aimed to increase the use and reading of the Spanish language through the thousands of libraries, schools and book stores in the US.
Excellent book, a classic of world literature of all time. Neruda is a poet but also a committed social activist
