In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pablo Neruda's birth, New
Directions is pleased to announce the reissue of a classic work in a
timeless translation by Donald D. Walsh and fully bilingual. Residence
on Earth is perhaps Neruda's greatest work. Upon its publication in
1973, this bilingual publication instantly became "a revolution... a
classic by which masterpieces are judged" (Review). "In Residence on
Earth," wrote Amado Alonso, "the tornado of fury will no longer pass
without lingering, because it will be identified with [Neruda's]
heart."
