Pablo Neruda


Is very difficult to choose only a more important Chilean of all the times, since there are many Chileans who in different matters are very relevant, for example in the field of the politics, there are persons with merit that they differentiate to the persons of the field of the art or of the science. Considering the previous thing, my choice has to be more emotive, not so rational and the field that me is more near is the art, and in this area, I think that Pablo Neruda's figure is the most important.
Pablo Neruda's figure not only is important because the prize won Nobel Prize the year 1971, but he was very relevant in the cultural life of Chile and Latin America.
He was involved in social topics, not only debating theoretically, but in the practice he interfered with the topic of the Spanish Civil War saving many lives in the project of “Winnipeg”. Also he was a candidate for the presidency of Chile and senator, clear that he had to flee and live in the stealthiest then that was betraying him.
In literary terms, Neruda influenced notably many of his contemporary ones and for Chile it was difficult to be extracted the influence so big that Neruda had on all the young poets, since they all began to write as him.
Neruda's relation with the women always was complex, and then if I could do a question to him, would be: What thinks really about the woman? Also I would like to ask him on all the objects that he collected during all his life, they are great and there are of everything.
Well, Neruda at present is almost like a brand, the better thing would be to return to his writings
