Pablo Neruda's Homes

Re: Poet's Pacific perch

Nobel Prize-winner Pablo Neruda was a commie and a notorious mujeriego (womanizer). And although often hailed as the greatest poet of the Twentieth Century in any language, his poetry never really aroused my interest while living in his country, Chile. He did, however, have excellent taste in architecture and interior design, and his three homes are among the most exquisite I have ever visited. The article above is a description of his home in Valparaíso, Chile, although the photo is of a different house in that mysterious and romantic city.

Here are links to pages with beautiful photos of Pablo Neruda's three homes:


More can be learned about the poet, en español, at la Fundación Pablo Neruda or in English at Pablo Neruda - The Academy of American Poets.
