About the uniqueness of this copy:

It is an extensive poem that would be included in the work Tercera residencia.
It was published in 1939, and written by Neruda in Spain in 1934.

The text was published in 1939. Pablo Neruda didn’t recognise those poems written in Spain before the Spanish Civil War, as the horrors of war changed him and changed his poetry. He mentioned it in the text of this edition.

Interior: complete, intact, clean, no tears, correct.

Pagination: 19 pp. + 2 ff.
Size: 25.5 x 18 cm
