Summary: Few writers are as integrally bound to a place as Pablo Neruda was to the landscape of Isla Negra. From his arrival there in the late '30s to his death in 1973, Isla Negra became a text that unraveled in a series of essential images that are fundamental to an understanding of his mature work.
