Publisher's summary

"The happiness I feel in offering these to you is vast as a savanna," Pablo Neruda wrote his adored wife, Matilde Urrutia de Neruda, in his dedication of 100 Love Sonnets. Set against the backdrop of his beloved Isla Negra, these joyfully sensual poems draw on the wind and tides, the white sand with its scattering of delicate wildflowers, and the hot sun and salty scent of the sea to celebrate their love. Generations of lovers since Pablo and Matilde have shared these poems with each other, making 100 Love Sonnets one of the most popular books of poetry of all time. This beautifully redesigned volume, perfect for gift-giving, presents graceful English translations of the original Spanish sonnets.

Please note: This audiobook is in English.

Nerudas Masterpiece 🩷

Neil Hellegers is the perfect narrator for *100 Love Sonnets* by Pablo Neruda. His voice captures the deep, soulful essence of Neruda's poetry, bringing each sonnet to life with a mesmerizing blend of passion and subtlety. Hellegers' delivery is so evocative that I felt chills throughout the entire narration. He expertly conveys the rhythm and emotion of Neruda's words, making this audiobook a truly unforgettable experience. It's as if the verses are being whispered directly to your heart, and I couldn't imagine a better voice to accompany these timeless poems.

Completely distracting, not in a good way

The narrator sounds like he's reading a novel and not poetry, no passion, no conviction
