📚The Book of Questions
📇Author: Pablo Neruda
💬Language: Spanish
🗓DOP: 1974
🌬Genre: #poetry

📝Summary:
Composed of 316 unanswerable questions, these poems integrate the wonder of a child with the experiences of an adult. By turns Orphic, comic, surreal, and poignant, Neruda’s questions lead the reader beyond reason into realms of intuition and pure imagination.

🔮Interesting Facts:
In his introduction O'Daly, who has translated eight volumes of Pablo Neruda's poetry, writes, "These poems, more so than any of Neruda's other work, remind us that living in a state of visionary surrender to the elemental questions, free of the quiet desperation of clinging too tightly to answers, may be our greatest act of faith.

🔎Background:
When Neruda died in 1973, The Book of Questions was one of eight unpublished poetry manunoscripts that lay on his desk. In it, Neruda achieves a deeper vulnerability and vision than in his earlier work.
