MEMOIRS is as full of Neruda's passionate, volatile and profoundly generous personality as lovers of his poetry would expect. Lorca, Vallejo, Picasso, Gandhi, Mao Tse-tung, Castro and Allende all appear here too, making Neruda's a life story of truly universal reach and significance, as well as the richest account we have of Latin American history, politics, art and literature.… (more)

Finished this a about a week ago. What a beautiful memoir. One of the refreshing aspects of it is that it's not totally linear account of Neruda's life, but more a chain of vignettes that seem to accidentally come in chronological order. ( )

Pablo Neruda, pseudônimo de Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, nasceu a 12 de julho de 1904, em Parral, no Chile.

Ganhador do Prêmio Nobel de Literatura de 1971, sua poesia transpira, na primeira fase, o romantismo extremo de Walt Whitman. Depois vieram a experiência surrealista, influência de André Breton, e uma curta fase hermética.

Marxista e revolucionário, cantou as angústias da Espanha de 1936 e a condição dos povos latino-americanos e seus movimentos libertários. Diplomata desde jovem, foi cônsul na Birmânia (atual Mianmar), no Ceilão (atual Sri Lanka), em Cingapura, no México e na Espanha.

Com o passar dos anos, a participação política de Neruda foi cada vez maior e culminou com sua indicação à Presidência da República em 1969 - honra a que renunciou em favor de Salvador Allende. Participou da campanha da Unidade Popular que elegeu Allende no ano seguinte, quando Neruda foi nomeado embaixador do Chile na França.

Em Confesso que vivi, o poeta chileno Pablo Neruda narra desde as memórias de sua longínqua infância até o duro golpe que derrubou Salvador Allende do governo chileno. Através do apaixonante relato dos fatos mais interessantes de sua jornada, Neruda afirma que sua vida foi feita de todas as vidas: as vidas do poeta. Ele confessa: ""Do que deixei escrito nestas páginas se desprenderão sempre ― como nos arvoredos de outono e como no tempo das vinhas ― as folhas amarelas que vão morrer e as uvas que reviverão no vinho sagrado."" Seja na prosa, seja na poesia, a intensidade lírica do poeta contagia e nos arrebata com sua habilidade literária.

On the whole, I would recommend this book. I enjoyed this book until about halfway through when it started to get a bit tedious. The style was very poetic and the words he chooses are very rich and full of meaning - but he does get a bit carried away at points making the book longer than strictly necessary. I also really enjoyed the fact that he told his story (often) through the stories of others making the memoir take on varied viewpoints. I did think that at some point, he started to make some very sweeping statements that began to grate on my nerves and this is what made the book tedious. It always infuriates me when people make broad statements about the world when they haven't experienced the whole world. ( )

Mi pueblo ha sido el más traicionado de este tiempo.
Chile tiene una larga historia civil con pocas revoluciones y muchos gobiernos estables, conservadores y mediocres. Muchos presidentes chicos y sólo dos presidentes grandes: Balmaceda y Allende (...) Balmaceda fue llevado al suicidio por resistirse a entregar la riqueza salitrera a las compañías extranjeras. Allende fue asesinado por haber nacionalizado la otra riqueza del subsuelo chileno, el cobre.
