When I Was a Boy Neruda Called Me Policarpo

When I Was a Boy Neruda Called Me Policarpo

Manuel Monroy
3.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Winner, International Latino Book Award for Best Young Adult Nonfiction


Poli Delano had a magical childhood connection to the great Nobel Prize winning Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda. He and his parents, who were Chilean diplomats, lived with Neruda in Mexico.


This book is Poli's charming memoir of those magical days with the Nerudas. He learned a wide array of things from Tio Pablo -- from how to swim to what fate is.


Pablo Neruda is one of the most widely read and beloved writers in the world. He was a politically engaged man until his death, just days after the fall of Allende's government in Chile in 1973. He was full of an almost child-like sense of joy, a love of nature and women, and a great enthusiasm for the world. This book can serve as an introduction to Neruda for the North American child. In addition to the text of the memoir, there is a short biography of the poet and a selection of his most accessible poems.
