“ : ‘Heights of Machu Picchu’, the poems about Vallejo, the poems of his trip to Paita, etc.
Neruda himself manifests the importance of our country in his poetry, in an interview in Lima in 1966. The poet’s relationship with Peru was always very close. They said it was recognition not to a Chilean, but to a Latin American. He expressed his satisfaction and satisfaction, and then outlined that he had been chosen among many others because he deserves it, for his great qualities and even more for being a revolutionary poet.”, Abraham Quezada details. “ The Minister of Education, Alfredo Carpio Becerra, was responsible for delivering some impressions of the Nobel Prize to Neruda. In 1971, Juan Velasco Alvarado was the president and he had met twice with the poet at the Government Palace. That is the real tribute, because the poet was physically there”, Says Quezada. “ But the great celebration takes place in November 1972, since a great tribute is paid to him at the National Stadium of Chile. And they send the architectural plan to the poet. “”, Says the Nerudian scholar.Īs part of the celebrations, they flagged down several Chilean cities and there is a town in Santiago that happens to be called Pablo Neruda and its streets are named after his books. It was nothing less than the second Nobel Prize for Chile and the third for Latin America. The Chilean Government received the news with great joy. “ And there was a fundamental reason: it was good that he did not win the Nobel Prize!”Emphasizes the diplomat. Third, Neruda’s campaign to win the Nobel, among whose tactics was that Allende had sent him as ambassador to France, the cultural capital of the West.
Second, the triumph of Salvador Allende, because it installed Chile in a unique experience: it won a Marxist government in a democratic way. On October 21, 1971, the Swedish Academy officially notified him, and on December 10, the award ceremony was held.īut why did he win it that year? According to Quezada, first, because the Latin American boom was being lived and there was an interest in writers from this part of the world. A year later, Jean-Paul Sartre was awarded the Nobel, but he did not accept it and asserted in a public letter that Neruda was the one who deserved it.Īs Pablo Neruda delivered in the final lines of his memorable speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize, after ardent patience of more than two decades, the poet finally won the splendid award he deserved. And it was successful: that year it was the Greek Yorgos Seferis who won the award. In fact, the bat dedicated to Ravines the poem “Un tal Montero”, in which he unmasks him and tells him: “ The poor renegade / from chamudés to chamudeces lives, / survives in presumptuous hotels / becoming more and more bitter / even elucidating in the void / now with no other company than his navel”.Īnother barrier to obtaining the Nobel was his communist militancy. Neruda was very saddened when a man who was united with the people suddenly left everything and criticized him and the entire Chilean Communist Party.”, Explains Quezada. “ He was a Cajamarcan communist militant, but he changed sides and became a harsh anti-communist. However, many anti-Nerudians set out to disqualify him, such as the Uruguayan Ricardo Paseyro and the Peruvian Eudocio Ravines. His campaign to win the award was already underway and was bearing fruit. In 1956, Pablo Neruda was nominated for the Nobel Prize for the first time. They are talking about the poetic gale that was the Nerudian language”, Emphasizes the diplomat. And Arturo Corcuera said that Neruda was not a tree, he was a forest It was not a planet, but a constellation he was not a poet but a mountain range of poets. In one part it says that Neruda is a ‘poetry steelmaker’, since she wrote many poems. “ Salazar Bondy published between 54 and 64 at least five large articles on Neruda in the newspapers. For example, he met four times with the leaders in the Government Palace of Peru”, He recalls. “ Neruda begins to manage the trips and who he is meeting with. This is the stage where you manage your talent. ”.įrom the 50’s to 1973 (the year he died), Neruda wrote more than 30 books.
“ There is a private letter sent to Carlos Morla Lynch from Asia, in July 1931, in which he comments on Vallejo’s poetry, and comments on it with annoyance -details the Nerudian scholar. The Chilean poet was always attentive to Vallejo’s production.
