Residence on Earth

New Directions celebrates the Pablo Neruda Centennial. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pablo Neruda’s birth, New Directions is pleased to announce the reissue of a classic work in a timeless translation by Donald D. Walsh and fully bilingual. Residence on Earth is perhaps Neruda’s greatest work. Upon its publication in 1973, this bilingual publication instantly became “a revolution… a classic by which masterpieces are judged” ( Review ). “In Residence on Earth ,” wrote Amado Alonso, “the tornado of fury will no longer pass without lingering, because it will be identified with [Neruda’s] heart.”
