    About this ebook

    ¿Por qué escribiría un libro sobre un poeta?

     Siempre he tenido un gran amor para el idioma español,  algunas de mis primeras palabras que me enseñó mi tía Gloria cuando tenía nueve o diez años eran "agua" y "Hasta luego". Palabras tan sencillas pero las recuerdo. Aún tuvimos vecinos que eran de México y siempre trato de escuchar y entender sus conversaciones. Aun en la escuela secundaria escogí clases de español. De hecho, fui a Chile después de la escuela secundaria y aprendí a hablar Castellano con bastante eficacia y salí del país hablando de una manera más fluida.

    Decidí estudiar Español en la universidad. Pablo Neruda fue uno de los primeros poetas que conocí al estudiar español en una clase de literatura de la universidad, y antes en Chile, y de casualidad, pude ver la película de Il Postino en italiano. Cuando me asignaron a escribir un trabajo final en la universidad sobre un tema de literatura sobre el que quería saber más, tenía que ser sobre Pablo Neruda y su influencia. Quería saber que lo convirtió en un gran poeta y si otros fueron influenciados por él y por mí mismo. Desde entonces me gradué de la universidad. No fue hasta ocho años después que decidí exponer mi trabajo y convertirlo en este libro.
