This is the story of Neftali Reyes Known to the world as thepoet Pablo Neruda. As a young boy, Neftali's mind wandered and he questioned everything around him. His domineering father considered him "absentminded", "dim-witted", and "idiot" He dictated what he expected his sons to become. Somehow Neftali finds his own way. As he grows older he takes on, through his writing the cause of the Mapuche people. The Indigenous people of Chile. The words flow throughout this book creating an image in the mind that is enhanced by the drawings by Pepter Sis. This is a book that you not only read, you feel it.
