Summary:
This Spanish-English bilingual edition is the first fully illustrated selection of Book of Questions: comprising 70 questions of the original 320, these poems, carefully woven together by theme and accompanying full-page illustrations, invite us to wonder at the natural world and the myriad mysteries it contains. "Book of Questions," written by beloved Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Neruda, was completed just months before his death in 1973, and is his last great work of poetry. By turns lyrical and cosmic, dreamlike and nonsensical, paradoxical and playful, each of these unanswerable questions asks us to set aside certainty and constraint and to enter into the vastness of the unknown. With riddles like "Where is the center of the sea? / Why don't waves break there?" and "What do you call a flower / that flits from bird to bird?", Neruda inspires us to unravel our assumptions and re-envision our relationship to nature. The only answer that is sure to arise from these questions is a closer observation of and reflection on the world in which we live, and a renewed sense of curiosity and wonder at our shared universe.

preguntas
de

320 originales, estos poemas, cuidadosamente entretejidos por tema e ilustraciones a toda página, nos invitan a maravillarnos con el mundo natural y los innumerables misterios que contiene. «El
Libro
de
las
Preguntas», escrito por el querido poeta chileno y ganador del Premio Nobel Neruda, se completó pocos meses antes
de
su muerte en 1973, y es su última gran obra poética. A su vez lírico y cósmico, onírico y absurdo, paradójico y lúdico, cada una
de
estas
preguntas
sin respuesta nos pide que dejemos
de
lado la certeza y la restricción y nos entremos en la inmensidad
de
lo desconocido. Con acertijos como «¿Dónde está el centro del mar? / ¿Por qué
las
olas no rompen allí?» y «¿Cómo llamas a una flor / que revolotea
de
pájaro en pájaro?», Neruda nos inspira a desentrañar nuestras suposiciones y repensar nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La única respuesta que seguramente surgirá
de
estas
preguntas
es una observación y una reflexión más cercanas sobre el mundo en el que vivimos, y un sentido renovado
de
curiosidad y asombro por nuestro universo compartido.
