A motherless, pensive child in the wild, he began writing poems long before quitting the countryside for Santiago, where he spent his bohemian student years. From there, his memoir follows his travels as a globetrotting Chilean consul--including a stint in Spain during its civil war, and in Mexico, where he attracted attention for aiding a man suspected of conspiring to assassinate Leon Trotsky--and his short-lived service as a Chilean senator. Neruda, a communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes, then to Europe and Asia. The memoirs conclude shortly after the coup in 1972 that overthrew his close friend Salvador Allende, Chile's first democratically elected president, as Neruda himself battled cancer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow expanded to include newly discovered material, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Memoirs \u003c\/i\u003eis the definitive edition of Neruda's classic memoir--a moving, revealing record of his life as a poet, a patriot, and one of the twentieth century's true men of conscience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePablo Neruda\u003c\/b\u003e (1904-1973), one of the most renowned poets of the twentieth century, was born in Parral, Chile.
