Pocos poemarios han alcanzado la difusión y han gozado del cariño que se le profesa a esta obra. Publicada en 1924, es uno de los máximos exponentes del modernismo literario latinoa-mericano y situó al joven Pablo Neruda (quien apenas acababa de entrar en la veintena) a la vanguardia de la poesía en lengua castellana, en un periplo literario fascinante que culminó con la concesión del Premio Nobel de Literatura de 1971.
