Pablo Neruda writes poetically about his country, Chile, and his duties representing his country and his poetry around the world. He also discusses what membership in the Communist Party meant to him since he came from a working class family and spent time with the miners and poor in his country.
The book speaks of many of the South American, Russian, French, Spanish etc. poets he met during his life and how they helped each other out. He also explains some of his poetry readings, and how various situations that occurred during his life time affected him including the Spanish War, World War II, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, etc.
It's an enjoyable read and made me want to visit Chile.
