Notes

General Note
Abridged and illustrated version of Libro de las Preguntas (1974) aimed at younger audiences.
Description
Esta edición bilingüe español-inglés es la primera selección completamente ilustrada del «Libro de las Preguntas». Compuesto por 70 preguntas de las 320 originales, estos poemas, cuidadosamente entretejidos por tema e ilustraciones a toda página, nos invitan a maravillarnos con el mundo natural y los innumerables misterios que contiene. «El Libro de las Preguntas», escrito por el querido poeta chileno y ganador del Premio Nobel Neruda, se completó pocos meses antes de su muerte en 1973, y es su última gran obra poética. A su vez lírico y cósmico, onírico y absurdo, paradójico y lúdico, cada una de estas preguntas sin respuesta nos pide que dejemos de lado la certeza y la restricción y nos entremos en la inmensidad de lo desconocido. Con acertijos como «¿Dónde está el centro del mar? / ¿Por qué las olas no rompen allí?» y «¿Cómo llamas a una flor / que revolotea de pájaro en pájaro?», Neruda nos inspira a desentrañar nuestras suposiciones y repensar nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La única respuesta que seguramente surgirá de estas preguntas es una observación y una reflexión más cercanas sobre el mundo en el que vivimos, y un sentido renovado de curiosidad y asombro por nuestro universo compartido.
Description
"This Spanish-English bilingual edition is the first fully illustrated selection of Book of Questions: comprising 70 questions of the original 320, these poems, carefully woven together by theme and accompanying full-page illustrations, invite us to wonder at the natural world and the myriad mysteries it contains. "Book of Questions," written by beloved Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Neruda, was completed just months before his death in 1973, and is his last great work of poetry. By turns lyrical and cosmic, dreamlike and nonsensical, paradoxical and playful, each of these unanswerable questions asks us to set aside certainty and constraint and to enter into the vastness of the unknown. With riddles like "Where is the center of the sea? / Why don't waves break there?" and "What do you call a flower / that flits from bird to bird?", Neruda inspires us to unravel our assumptions and re-envision our relationship to nature. The only answer that is sure to arise from these questions is a closer observation of and reflection on the world in which we live, and a renewed sense of curiosity and wonder at our shared universe"--,Provided by publisher.
