A gathering of Mario Benedetti¡¯s most celebrated poems, El amor, las mujeres y la vida has become an intimate link between the author and his readers ¨Da link that few poets have been able to establish. Mario Benedetti¡¯s words have become a means for readers to express their feelings, to whisper their words to a loved one, quoting them in their declarations of love or using them as inspiration when dabbling on their own poetry. This is one of the Uruguayan poet¡¯s final books; many of his poems have been made into songs and even graffiti.

Description in Spanish: Este libro re¨²ne los m¨¢s celebrados poemas de Mario Benedetti. Muchos est¨¢n a flor de labio en la gente que los recuerda, los repite al o¨ªdo de la persona amada, los cita en sus declaraciones rom¨¢nticas o los tiene en la mente a la hora de garabatear un verso; otros se han convertido en canciones o hasta en grafittis. Pocos poetas han logrado establecer un lazo semejante con sus lectores y darles palabras para expresar lo que sienten.
