Written in Neruda's vivid and unmistakable style, Memoirs depicts an extraordinary literary and political world peopled with the artists, poets and leaders who were his friends: Lorca and Eluard, Picasso and Rivera, Gandhi, Mao Tse Tung, Salavador Allende and Che Cuevara. First published in 1977, this edition is re-published for the centenary of Pablo Neruda's birth celebrated in 2004.
