The memoirs conclude shortly after the coup in 1972 that overthrew his close friend Salvador Allende, Chile's first democratically elected president, as Neruda himself battled cancer.
After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes, then to Europe and Asia. Neruda, a communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. From there, his memoir follows his travels as a globetrotting Chilean consul-including a stint in Spain during its civil war, and in Mexico, where he attracted attention for aiding a man suspected of conspiring to assassinate Leon Trotsky-and his short-lived service as a Chilean senator. A motherless, pensive child in the wild, he began writing poems long before quitting the countryside for Santiago, where he spent his bohemian student years. "The classic memoir of the Nobel Prize-winning poet, now expanded with newly discovered material"-Southern Chile was an open frontier when the beloved poet Pablo Neruda was born there in 1904.
