Pablo Neruda is a famous writer in latinoameria, he was born y Parral-Chile on July 12,1904. His mother die a few days after he was born, the person who discouraged Neruda's affinity for poetry since the age of 10.

In the university he won his first literary prize with "La cancion de fiesta", in 1924 with his poem "Vente poema de amor y una cancion desesperada", as a personal opinion I love this poem, this poem was converted in a sold exit (supere one million of copies), it makes that he could be situated in one of the more destacated poets.

Neruda was married three times, also in Chile didn`t recognize his second married. His published poetry was widely respected at the age of twenty. He follow his career to Asia, then in Europe in 1930's he became involved in political actions as well as much of his poetry.

Between his numerous poems I would like to emphasize more of his poems like "Canto General", "Residencia en la tierra", "El habitante y su esperanza". In 1970 he was candidated for president in Chile.

Pablo Neruda return to Chile in 1952, in 1972 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, he died of cancer on September 23, 1973 at the age on 69. Actually he was recognized as a national hero and a greatesd poet of the twentieth century.
